The aim of the Occupational Health Therapy Team in Occupational Health is to support staff to enable them to continue in their employment while safely managing their health needs and to encourage staff to adopt and maintain their health needs in order to remain well at work.
We offer a full package of benefits, including a car lease scheme; on-site childcare; generous annual leave in line with NHS terms and conditions; high street and public transport discounts; a 24/7 staff support service - and the little things that make life easier, like on-site Amazon lockers and fresh fruit and veg stalls.
