OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ADVISOR
We are excited to share an opportunity that has arisen following the retirement of our longstanding Occupational Health Advisor. At Sefton, we operate a blended approach to occupational health, and this role will be key in developing and shaping the in-house service further to ensure we are meeting the current health and wellbeing needs of our internal workforce and external school customers.
Our preferred candidate will have a keen eye for detail and be able to produce high-standard reports that incorporate realistic recommendations to assist managers in the recovery of their staff. The post salary is based on a 36-hour working week; however, applications are also invited from those seeking to work on a part-time or job-sharing basis with pro-rata pay reflected to the hours worked.
In today’s rapidly evolving work environment, the Council recognises that flexible working has become pivotal in fostering a satisfied workforce and increasing overall job satisfaction. We therefore 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. IT equipment will be provided to enable the successful candidate to work independently and remain in contact with the OH manager, OH partners, and service users.
If you would like to learn more about this role or would like to visit the Unit, please contact Russell Taylor by emailing or calling 0151 934 3650.
