Ready to feel like more than just a number?
If you’re currently working within a large company, you may feel your clinical judgement, autonomy, and voice are being lost in the system.
Our client offers something different.
This is a female-led, independent Occupational Health service where people genuinely come first, both patients and clinicians. You’ll be part of a close-knit, caring team where your expertise is valued, your input is heard, and you’re trusted to practice at a high level.
Based in a clinic setting at the Southampton Head Office, this role is ideal for an OHA who enjoys building real relationships with clients. You’ll have the time and continuity to deliver meaningful, person-centred care, not just process-driven assessments.
This role is 4 days per week, enabling you to balance your work and home life perfectly.
With excellent back-office support, you can focus on clinical quality rather than admin burden, all within an environment that prioritises support, collaboration, and professional respect.
This is a permanent role based in Southampton, with some travel to client sites.
