This is a Part Time, Permanent vacancy

Your new role

Use your clinical expertise to make work safer and healthier for colleagues. As part of our newly established in-house Health Surveillance Team, you’ll help shape a trusted, high-quality service from the outset—combining hands-on clinical practice with the opportunity to influence how we work and make a visible difference every day.

What you’ll do

You’ll deliver and oversee baseline and periodic health surveillance, including audiometry, spirometry, respiratory questionnaires, hand-arm vibration (HAVS) and skin surveillance. With informed consent at the heart of your practice, you’ll explain assessments and outcomes clearly, interpret results within agreed protocols, and act promptly when further testing, workplace adjustments, referral or urgent escalation are needed.

You’ll coach and support Occupational Health Surveillance Technicians and Coordinators, review and sign off their practice, and deputise for the Occupational Health Surveillance Nurse Manager when required. By partnering with Occupational Health, Health & Safety, HR and operational teams, you’ll help ensure surveillance is accessible, effective and aligned with workplace risks. You’ll maintain accurate, confidential occupational health records; produce agreed and statutory reports;

and contribute to audit, quality assurance and continuous improvement. You’ll keep equipment, protocols and professional knowledge up to date, practise in line with the NMC Code and relevant guidance, and handle information sensitively.

What you’ll bring

You’ll be a Registered Nurse with current NMC registration and hold an Occupational Health qualification such as a Diploma or Certificate in Occupational Health Nursing. You’ll have experience in occupational health or statutory health surveillance, including clinical assessment or screening, and the confidence to make sound, evidence-based decisions.

You’ll be competent in audiometry, spirometry, HAVS Tier 1 and 2, and skin surveillance, with sound knowledge of confidentiality, informed consent, information governance and relevant legislation. You’ll be comfortable working autonomously, managing recall schedules and maintaining accurate records using clinical systems and Microsoft Office. You’ll communicate health information clearly and appropriately, and demonstrate a commitment to evidence-based practice, clinical audit and continuing professional development.

Experience of interpreting risk assessments, connecting surveillance with workplace hazards, and applying HSE guidance or occupational health standards would be an advantage.

Where you’ll work

You’ll work from our Eastleigh office for at least two days each week, with the other two days based at another office or at home. A full driving licence and access to your own transport are essential, as you’ll travel across our organisation’s portfolio; occasional early starts and overnight stays may be required to support colleagues’ working hours
