CR/25/303372 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ADVISOR Salary: Grade H, £39,513 per annum plus Market Supplement of up to £5k Contract: Permanent Working Pattern: Part-Time / Full Time / Job-Share Hours: 36 hours per week. DBS Check: Enhanced check with an Adults Barred Check List Closing Date: 23rd February 2025 Reference: TBC 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 to ensure we meet the current health and wellbeing needs of our internal workforce and external school customers. At Magdalen House, Bootle, we have a modern and fully equipped OH unit as well as a temporary satellite site based at our Hawthorne Road depot. Our diverse roles mean that no two days are the same, which adds to the enjoyment and potential challenge of the role. To enhance the OH service, we 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. Our preferred candidate will have a keen eye for detail and be able to produce high standard reports which incorporate realistic recommendations to assist managers with 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 part-time or job-sharing, 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. The Council recognises that flexible working has become pivotal in fostering a satisfied workforce and increasing overall job satisfaction. We operate a Flexible Working Scheme with specified core working hours 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. This provides employees with greater flexibility to balance work and personal responsibilities. 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 via portal links, which provide benefits such as reduced commute time and a quiet working environment as needed. The OH service offers appointments either face-to-face within an office environment or via Teams internet provision. Agile and flexible working are subject to agreement with the OH Manager and operational service requirements, which may require office-based attendance at specified times. If you would like to learn more about this role or would like to visit the Unit, please contact Russell Taylor by emailing russell.taylor@sefton.gov.uk or call 0151 934 3650. Closing date: 23rd February 2025 Interview Date: 27th February 2025 Venue: Health Unit, 2nd Floor Magdalen House, 30 Trinity Road, Bootle L20 3NJ The interview will comprise of: 15 minutes for you to review and prepare notes for indicative Health Unit referrals.
