1What this role really is

You'll be the backbone of our Occupational Health team, handling the day-to-day admin that keeps everything running smoothly. Think of yourself as the first point of contact for many employees, making sure their health journey starts on the right foot. This isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about making sure our clinical team can focus on what they do best: looking after our people. You'll learn the ropes of a highly regulated and sensitive area, getting a solid grounding in how employee health impacts a business.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

OHS Software (e.g., Cority, Cohort, Medgate)Basic

Accurately entering new patient data, scheduling appointments, updating case files with administrative notes, and running pre-defined reports (like daily clinic lists).

Medical Testing Software (e.g., Amplivox Audibase)Basic

Opening the software, ensuring it's ready for the clinician, and exporting results to PDF to attach to employee records. You won't be interpreting results.

Incident/Case Management (e.g., Intelex, Enablon)Basic

Logging new management referrals, updating basic case statuses based on administrative actions (e.g., 'appointment booked'), and attaching relevant documents.

HRIS (e.g., Workday HCM, SAP SuccessFactors)Basic

Looking up basic employee details (like their full name, employee ID, manager, or location) to ensure accuracy in OH records. This will usually be read-only access.

Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Teams, SharePoint)Intermediate

Using Word templates for letters, tracking simple health surveillance stats in Excel spreadsheets, joining Teams consultations, and saving and retrieving files from SharePoint folders.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Data Entry Accuracy in OHS
The percentage of new case entries and updates that are free from errors in our Occupational Health Software (OHS).
Target · >99% accuracy

If you process 100 new referrals and update 200 existing cases in a month, we'd expect fewer than 3 errors across all those entries. An error could be a wrong date, a misspelled name, or incorrect contact details.

Appointment Scheduling Efficiency
How quickly management referrals and health surveillance appointments are booked from the moment they land on your desk.
Target · Referrals booked within 48 hours of receipt; Health Surveillance appointments scheduled within 5 working days of eligibility notification.

A manager sends a referral on Monday morning. By Wednesday morning, that employee should have a confirmed appointment in the diary, even if it's for a later date. If it takes until Thursday, that's a miss.

Clinic Utilisation Support
The extent to which your scheduling and follow-up efforts contribute to a high percentage of filled clinic slots, minimising 'Did Not Attend' (DNA) rates.
Target · Contribute to a clinic utilisation rate of >90% (by effective scheduling and reminder sending).

If a clinician has 10 slots available in a day, and you've helped ensure 9 of those are filled and attended, you're doing well. This means chasing up employees, sending reminders, and re-booking cancellations promptly.

Document Filing & Archiving Accuracy
The precision with which physical and digital documents (e.g., fit notes, consent forms, test results) are filed and retrieved.
Target · <1% error rate on filing; 100% retrieval success within 5 minutes.

If we ask you to find John Smith's spirometry results from Q2 last year, you should be able to pull them up (digitally or physically) within minutes, and they should be exactly where they're supposed to be. No misfiled documents.

Adherence to Confidentiality Protocols
How well you handle sensitive employee health information, ensuring it's always kept private and secure.
  • No reported breaches of confidentiality. Consistent use of secure channels for communication. Always double-checks employee names before discussing cases. Confidential waste is shredded immediately. Supervisor feedback confirms meticulous handling of sensitive data.
Clinic Preparation & Support
The quality of your support for the clinical team, ensuring clinic rooms are ready and equipment is prepared.
  • Clinicians consistently report that clinic rooms are set up correctly and on time. All necessary forms and equipment are readily available. Proactively anticipates clinician needs (e.g., restocking supplies). Positive feedback from OH Technicians and Nurses.
Responsiveness to Team Requests
How quickly and effectively you respond to administrative requests from the OH team.
  • Requests for information or assistance are typically actioned within agreed timescales. Proactive communication if a delay is expected. Team members feel supported and can rely on you for administrative tasks. Positive feedback from peers and supervisor.
Professional Demeanour with Employees
Maintaining a calm, empathetic, and professional approach when interacting with employees, especially those who may be distressed or unwell.
  • Employees report feeling heard and respected. You maintain composure even in challenging conversations. You clearly explain processes without jargon. Feedback from OH Technicians observing interactions confirms a supportive and professional approach.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Helping People

You'll get satisfaction from knowing that by accurately booking an appointment or managing a referral, you're directly helping an employee get the support they need to stay healthy at work. It's not clinical, but it's essential support.

An employee thanks you for quickly getting them an appointment that eased their worries about a return to work. That's a good day.

Structured & Organised Work

If you love a clear process, checklists, and the satisfaction of a perfectly organised filing system (digital or physical), you'll enjoy the day-to-day work. There's a real sense of order.

You've successfully cleared your inbox of all new referral requests and every single one is accurately logged and scheduled. That feeling of 'job done' is a motivator.

Learning a Specialised Field

You'll be exposed daily to the intricacies of occupational health, from specific medical tests to legal compliance. If you're keen to learn about a niche but vital area, this role offers a fantastic starting point.

You start to understand the difference between a 'management referral' and a 'health surveillance' programme, and why each is important, simply by doing the admin around them.

What frustrates people
  • The Constant Chase: You'll spend a fair bit of time chasing managers for incomplete referral forms or employees for missing details. It's a necessary evil, but it can be a grind.
  • Clinic Tetris: A last-minute cancellation or a 'no-show' (DNA) can mess up a carefully planned clinic schedule, and you'll be the one trying to fill that gap or reschedule.
  • Emotional Sponge: Sometimes, employees calling in are genuinely distressed or even angry. You have to absorb that and remain professional, which can be emotionally draining.
  • Admin Avalanche: The sheer volume of repetitive administrative follow-up after each case interaction – filing, sending letters, updating trackers – can feel endless.
  • System Silos: You might find yourself manually re-keying employee data from one system (like HR) into our OH software because they don't 'talk' to each other perfectly. It doubles the work and increases the chance of a mistake.
What this role does not give you
  • Direct clinical involvement or decision-making authority.
  • A fast-paced, constantly changing project environment (it's more about consistent process execution).
  • Opportunities to travel extensively or work off-site frequently (it's largely office-based).
  • High levels of creative problem-solving on a daily basis (more about following established protocols).

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the efficiency and compliance of our entire Occupational Health service. By ensuring accurate data, timely appointments, and smooth clinic operations, you're enabling the clinical team to effectively manage employee health, reduce sickness absence, and ensure a safe working environment. Your work helps us meet our legal and ethical obligations concerning employee health data and workplace safety.

Inside the business
  • Occupational Health Technicians and Nurses
  • Employees seeking OH support
  • Line Managers (for referral queries)
  • HR Advisers (for basic employee information)
  • Health & Safety Team (for general support)
Outside the business
  • External medical testing labs (for sample dispatch)
  • Equipment suppliers (for basic queries)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven administrative or clerical experience (even if it's from a non-health setting).
  • A solid grasp of basic IT skills, especially Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
  • Experience handling sensitive information with discretion (e.g., in HR, finance, or customer service).
  • A genuine willingness to learn and adhere to strict procedures and confidentiality rules.
  • Excellent organisational skills – we need someone who can keep track of multiple tasks without dropping the ball.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

OHS Software (Advanced User)

Important within 12 months – moving from basic data entry to understanding how to generate custom reports, configure basic workflows (with supervision), and troubleshoot common user issues will make you invaluable.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Occupational Health Assistant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of any administrative role is repetitive, but it doesn't have to be. Imagine if you could offload some of those tedious tasks to an AI assistant, freeing you up to focus on more interesting and impactful work. That's exactly what we're doing here at Zavmo.

In Occupational Health, accuracy and speed are critical. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to be your super-efficient co-pilot. We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our Compliance_Quality_Health_Safety team, and as an Occupational Health Assistant, you'll be one of the first to use these tools to make your day-to-day work smoother and faster.

Referral Form Auto-Triage

Picture this: an AI tool scans incoming PDF referral forms, extracts all the key bits of info like employee ID, the reason for referral, and the manager's details. It then pre-populates a new case file in our OHS software, and even flags urgent cases based on keywords. Your job? A quick check and a click, not hours of manual data entry.

Absence Trend Spotter (for Data Entry)

While you won't be configuring this, you'll be using its outputs. Our AI can analyse sickness absence data from HR and highlight potential hotspots – say, a sudden increase in back pain reports in a specific department. This helps the clinical team intervene proactively, and you'll be responsible for ensuring the data feeding it is accurate.

HSE Guidance Summarizer

No more slogging through dozens of pages of dense government health and safety guidance. Use an AI assistant to instantly summarise the latest HSE documents into bulleted key actions. Need to know the critical changes in the new noise at work guidance? Ask the AI, get the summary, and pass it on to the team. Easy.

Smart Template Composer

Drafting routine communications, like appointment confirmations or phased return plan emails, can take ages. Our AI will help by pulling details directly from the case file. You'll give it a prompt like 'Draft an appointment confirmation email for Sarah Jones for her spirometry test on 15 January 2026', and it'll generate a pre-populated template, ready for a quick review and send.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an Occupational Health Assistant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 14 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an Occupational Health Assistant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
