Make a difference to people's health at work

Wellness International Ltd. is growing, and we are looking for a motivated, professional and people-focused Occupational Health Technician to join our expanding team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, travelling to different locations and having a role where no two days are necessarily the same.

You will work with a wide range of organisations across the UK, delivering occupational health and health surveillance services to employees in different workplaces and industries.

This is a field-based role, so you should be comfortable travelling extensively across the UK and staying away from home for up to 4 nights per week, Monday to Friday.

Don't worry about the logistics as our dedicated bookings team arranges and pays for your hotel accommodation, while you will be provided with a fully maintained and insured company car for both business and personal use.

As an Occupational Health Technician, you will deliver a range of health surveillance and fitness-to-work assessments at client sites.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out health surveillance and fitness-to-work assessments.

• Managing your time effectively to ensure appointments and daily schedules run smoothly.

• Maintaining and using occupational health equipment appropriately.
