An exciting opportunity has arisen following the retirement of Sefton Council's longstanding Occupational Health Advisor. Sefton operate a blended approach to occupational health and this role will be key in developing and shaping the in-house service further to ensure they are meeting the current health and wellbeing needs of their internal workforce and external school customers.
You will be working at Magdalen House, Bootle, a modern and fully equipped OH unit, as well as a temporary satellite site based at Hawthorne Road depot. Diverse roles mean that no two days are the same which all adds to the enjoyment and potential challenge of the role.
To enhance the OH service, Sefton also utilise specific support from a doctor, who is available to advise and assist with more complex work, a physiotherapist, and counselling support who frequently attend on-site appointments with referred staff.
The preferred candidate will have a keen eye for detail and be able to produce high standard reports which incorporate realistic recommendations that will provide guidance to managers to assist with the recovery of their staff.
The post salary is based on a 36-hour working week. However, applications are also invited from applicants seeking to work on a part-time or job-sharing basis with pro-rata pay reflected to the hours worked. A Market supplement of £5K maximum may be payable in addition to the substantive salary dependent on the applicant’s knowledge, experience and current salary, and any potential for a market supplement will be discussed at interview.
Sefton operate a Flexible Working Scheme with specified core hour working times between 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-15:00, a 30-minute minimum and 2-hour maximum lunch break, and a wide bandwidth of working times between the hours of 07:30-18:30. Agile working (a combination of home and office-based working) can be available following the initial probationary period and subject to satisfactory performance.
