We are looking for an Occupational Health Advisor to deliver Occupational Health & Wellbeing services in support of all staff across our Scotland Region, with the need for overnight stays, supported with the provision of a company van and meal allowances. You'll be part of the supportive in‑house team, responsible for the delivery of an efficient and effective health surveillance programme and integral working partner for the ongoing development of Occupational Health and Wellbeing expansion at SGN.
As an Occupational Health Advisor, you’ll deliver a first-class, evidence‑based OH service across our business. Reporting to the Head of Occupational Health & Wellbeing, you’ll work alongside a growing multidisciplinary team of OH Technicians, and Wellbeing Leads. This is a fast‑paced role in an ever‑changing environment that will require regular travel across the Scotland region.
Key Responsibilities
* Deliver our health surveillance programme across SGN Scotland
* Provide timely, accurate and appropriate advice to the business on all matters relating to health and wellbeing within legal and best‑practice guidelines
* Support the Lead Nurse and Head of OH in the ongoing development of policies and procedures
* Manage your own workload and that of the OH Technicians, maintaining weekly MI and escalating trends to the Head of OH
* Actively refer staff to interventions, support services or signposting to maintain or improve health and wellbeing
* Work closely with Operations, HR and other key directorates and stakeholders to ensure Occupational Health can deliver, collaborate, influence and drive engagement
* Provide full end‑to‑end service including case work, assessments, face fitting etc.
* Work as part of a continuously growing and developing department, delivering a vital service to our staff
What you will need
* NMC registration (Part 3 of the register) & SCPHN OH Qualification
* Experience in health surveillance and case management
* Familiar UK OH legislation, HSE guidelines, and FOM best practice
* A proactive mindset – you’ll be someone who doesn’t just identify health risks, but actively helps solve them
* Excellent communication and digital skills, with confidence in clinical systems and data‑driven reporting
* Key understanding of data and importance of accurate reporting
* An accredited tier 3 HAVS qualification is desirable but not essential – you will be expected to work towards this in the role
You must have a full manual UK driving license as regular travel will be a key part of this role.
If this role interests you but you’re not sure you tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you. You might be just who we’re looking for – now or in the future.
Research shows some people – particularly women and those from underrepresented backgrounds – may hesitate to apply unless they meet every criterion. At SGN, we value diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
