Join Our Expanding Occupational Health Team

The Occupational Health Team Ltd is a well-established nurse-led occupational health provider delivering services across Northern Ireland and, where required, the Republic of Ireland.

The role offers the opportunity to develop specialist clinical skills within occupational health, supported by ongoing supervision and training.

• Funded training in core occupational health competencies including audiometry, spirometry, and drug and alcohol screening
• Support with professional registration fees where relevant to the role
• Potential opportunities to undertake a recognised Occupational Health qualification following successful completion of probation

As services are delivered across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, successful applicants may be required to hold registration with both the NMC and NMBI depending on their primary registration. Support and guidance will be provided where additional registration is required.

Additional Information

The company reserves the right to apply enhanced shortlisting criteria where required.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sponsorship under current immigration legislation. Applicants must therefore already hold the legal right to work within the United Kingdom.
