This role supports the Occupational Health (OH) team by performing health surveillance tests and assisting in planning, implementing, and administering health screening programmes, while maintaining accurate and up‑to‑date Occupational Health Records.

The role contributes to the protection and improvement of employee health and wellbeing across Johnson Matthey sites – Royston, Brimsdown, Cambridge and Sonning – ensuring compliance with departmental protocols and statutory guidelines.

• Deliver and administer health surveillance and screening programmes in line with company and departmental policies, including audiometry, spirometry, urinalysis, vision screening, phlebotomy, and vital sign checks (blood pressure, pulse, height, weight, BMI).
