Occupational health is where NBR started and where we place most. We place candidates every week into leading OH service providers and in house OH teams across the UK, from London to Scotland and everywhere in between. We don't just fill vacancies: we provide dependable, high-performing professionals who keep services running smoothly, on permanent, contract and sessional terms.
If it sits in this market and matters to your business, we've probably placed it.
What each role involves, how to get into it, common questions and every live job.
The backbone of every OH service: case management, health surveillance and fitness-for-work advice.

A provider needed additional occupational health technicians at short notice. We supplied temporary staff to help maintain service delivery.
Whether you run an OH provider that needs extra clinical capacity or an in house service looking for one hard to find hire, we know who is actually open to moving because we talk to this market every day, not just when a vacancy lands. Expect an honest view on salary and timescale before you commit, with a first shortlist typically inside a week.
If you're OH qualified, or a nurse looking to move out of shifts and into occupational health, we'll tell you straight what you're worth and which employers genuinely train and develop their people. A lot of our OH candidates come through recommendations. That only happens when people are looked after properly.
