Occupational Health Nurse Adviser

As an occupational health nurse adviser your main duties will include providing clinical advice in a variety of ways including telephone, E-mail and within clinics. You will represent Occupational Health at various meetings and groups. A key part of the role will be to deliver nurse led management and self-referral clinics. Your base will be Crosshouse but you will be required to work across other sites within NHS Ayrshire and Arran, particularly University Hospital Ayr and Ayrshire Central Hospital sites., 5 to 37 hours (pro rata for part-time staff) without loss of earnings. NHS Ayrshire and Arran will implement this change but it may not be possible to fully transition from 1 April and there may therefore be some areas of the organisation where implementation may take longer. If the department is currently unable to safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1st April, you may be required to work 37. 5 hours per week (pro rata for part-time staff) until the department can meet the requirements without impacting patient safety - you will, of course, be remunerated accordingly. NHS Ayrshire and Arran is committed to full implementation of the 37 hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe to do so,
