Here at Royal Navy Occupational Health Service (RNOHS), we are an inclusive and dedicated organisation working to provide excellent rehabilitation service to our entitled personnel!
We are looking to recruit a Band 7 Occupational Health Clinician, to support the delivery of a peripatetic Occupational Health (OH) service which requires travel between base location and assigned units.

Main duties of the job
As the successful post holder, you will work autonomously, without direct supervision and be accountable for own professional actions. You will be required to manage own clinical caseload and proactively support the Service Person (SP) through their clinical pathway in accordance to best practice, current legislation, and Defence Primary Healthcare (DPHC) policy.
About us
Our success depends on our people, our Whole Force regular and reservist military, civil servants and contractors, all working as one, working together seamlessly to deliver for us.
Our civil servants are a central part of this Whole Force, developing strategy, making policy, supporting ministerial decision-making and Parliamentary processes. In fact, with over 2,000 different roles working across 650 sites around the world, now really is an excellent time to join one of the largest, most exciting departments in government.

We offer maternity, adoption or shared parental leave of up to 26 weeks full pay followed by 13 weeks of statutory pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid, and paternity leave of 2 weeks full pay.
In return, you can expect a department that helps you learn and develop that recognises your expertise and contribution, both as an individual and part of a team.
If you've ever wanted to do more, see more, go further or be better, we have roles in more professions and vocations than ever before. Let's see where your future will take you, together.
