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. Youll 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.
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. If this role interests you but you’re not sure you tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
* Delivering our health surveillance programme across SGN Scotland
* Providing timely, accurate and appropriate advice to the business on all matters relating to health and wellbeing within legal and best practice guidelines
* Supporting the Lead Nurse and Head of OH in the ongoing development of policies and procedures
* Managing your own workload and that of the OH Technicians, maintaining weekly MI and escalating trends to the Head of OH
* Actively referring staff to interventions, support services or signposting to maintain or improve health and wellbeing
* Working closely with Operations, HR and other key directorates and stakeholders to ensure Occupational Health can deliver, collaborate, influence and drive engagement
* Providing full end‑to‑end service including case work, assessments, face fittings etc.
Qualifications
* 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
* An understanding of data and the 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
* Full manual UK driving licence
If you require any accommodations or support during the application process, reach out to us. We’re here to help ensure an inclusive and accessible experience for everyone.
