This will involve providing general and specific expert disability and occupational health advice, supporting managers and employees, and making recommendations on reasonable workplace adjustments when appropriate.

You will also engage in University-wide health and wellbeing promotional activities and advise on institutional policy and procedures relating to the management of staff health.

Main Responsibilities

  • Manage a caseload dealing with complex cases, utilising time-limited evidenced-based interventions for a wide range of mental and physical health difficulties and disabilities.
  • Provide comprehensive, confidential advice to managers and employees and make recommendations on fitness for work.
  • Advise managers regarding reasonable adjustments for staff as appropriate and provide access to disability support services where necessary.
  • Undertake occupational screening/health surveillance in accordance with health and safety legislation and interpret results and advise accordingly.
  • Communicate and work collaboratively with the Occupational Health Manager, Occupational Health Advisers, Human Resource professionals, Occupational Physician, internal and external health and wellbeing professionals, and other agencies involved in client care.

Requirements

  • Able to demonstrate a good track record of giving disability and occupational health advice, guidance, and support to managers and employees, including complex cases.
  • Able to demonstrate good OH report writing skills using evidence-based practice and guidance.
  • Previous experience of advising, supporting, and managing employees with acute and chronic mental and physical health issues and the application of the principles of the Equality Act 2010.
  • Understanding of the requirement for health surveillance and underlying legislation.
  • Expert knowledge for advising employees who are off work due to ill-health or returning to work following ill-health.
  • Able to demonstrate a clear understanding of professional accountability in the scope of professional practice.
  • Ability to work autonomously, using own initiative, as well as working collaboratively with a wider team and with internal and external bodies.

Desirable Qualifications and Experience

  • Health and Safety Qualification (NEBOSH Cert or Equivalent)
  • Relevant mental health qualification
  • Health surveillance competence in all of the following: Audiometry, Spirometry, and Hand Arm Vibration assessments

Working Arrangements

This is a full-time role available immediately on a permanent basis. The post holder will be based on sites in Exeter and Cornwall, with some working at the Exeter campus being an advantage for health surveillance. However, applicants who may only be able to work remotely are also encouraged to apply.
