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.

Site-Specific DART Rate Reduction
Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate for your assigned sites or business unit.
Target · 15% reduction year-on-year

If a site's DART rate was 1.5 last year, we'd expect it to be 1.275 or lower this year, thanks to your programmes.

Average Return-to-Work (RTW) Duration
The average time it takes for employees with musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) cases to return to full duties.
Target · 10% reduction in average RTW duration for MSD cases

If MSD cases typically took 30 days to RTW, you'd aim for 27 days or less, showing effective case management and early intervention.

Health Programme Rollout Completion
On-time and within-scope completion for new health surveillance or wellbeing programme implementations.
Target · 95% on-time completion for new programme rollouts

Launching a new hearing conservation programme across three sites by Q2. You'll hit 95% of your milestones on time, including training and equipment deployment.

Exposure Monitoring Compliance
The percentage of required industrial hygiene monitoring activities completed on schedule and according to protocol.
Target · 98% compliance with scheduled monitoring

If 100 noise surveys were due in Q1, you'd ensure at least 98 were completed and documented correctly.

Proactive Risk Identification
How well you anticipate and identify emerging health risks before they become incidents, using data and foresight.
  • You're regularly presenting data-driven insights on potential hazards to site leadership. You've proposed and implemented preventative measures based on early warning signs, not just after an incident. People come to you for advice on what *might* happen, not just what *has*.
Stakeholder Influence & Engagement
Your ability to get buy-in from managers, employees, and other departments for health initiatives and policy changes.
  • Managers are actively supporting your health programmes, not just tolerating them. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a compliance officer. You've successfully navigated disagreements between different teams to get a programme off the ground.
Team Development & Mentorship
How effectively you guide and develop the junior OH Advisors or Technicians reporting to you.
  • Your direct reports are growing in their roles, taking on more complex tasks, and showing increased confidence. They come to you for guidance, and you provide actionable coaching. You're seen as a fair and supportive leader who helps them learn from their mistakes.
Programme Effectiveness & Iteration
Your approach to evaluating existing programmes and making data-driven improvements.
  • You're not just running programmes
  • you're reviewing their impact, collecting feedback, and making tangible improvements. You can articulate why a programme is working (or isn't) and what you're doing about it. You're not afraid to tweak something that isn't delivering the expected results.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Impact on Wellbeing

You'll get a real buzz from seeing the DART rate drop in a facility after you've implemented a new ergonomics programme, or hearing an employee thank you for helping them safely return to work. It's about knowing your work directly prevents harm and improves lives.

Successfully launching a new mental health support programme that sees a measurable increase in employee engagement and a decrease in stress-related absences.

Solving Complex, Systemic Problems

You're someone who loves to untangle messy data, identify the root causes of recurring health issues, and then design a robust solution that works across different sites and cultures. It's like being a detective and an engineer rolled into one.

Discovering a correlation between a specific manufacturing process and a rise in respiratory issues, then designing and implementing engineering controls that eliminate the hazard.

Building and Leading Programmes

You thrive on the challenge of taking an idea for a health programme, getting buy-in from various teams, and then seeing it through from design to implementation and evaluation. You enjoy the ownership that comes with shaping something from scratch.

Leading the global rollout of a new travel health risk assessment and briefing programme, ensuring all international travellers are properly protected.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Advocate vs. Agent' Tightrope: Constantly balancing your duty of care to the employee with your role as an agent of the company, especially when the two are in conflict.
  • Managerial Pressure: Dealing with managers who view you as a barrier and just want an injured employee 'signed off' and back to full duty immediately, regardless of medical advice.
  • Data Graveyards: Knowing that critical health and exposure data exists across dozens of spreadsheets and legacy systems at different sites, but lacking the tools or time to unify it for proper trend analysis.
  • The Budget Battle: Fighting for investment in preventative programmes (like ergonomics) which have long-term, hard-to-quantify ROI, versus reactive spending which is always easier to justify.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely clinical, hands-on patient care environment – this is more about population health and programme management.
  • A static, predictable day-to-day – priorities can shift quickly, especially with global operations.
  • A role where you only deal with easy, clear-cut cases – you'll be tackling the ambiguous and complex ones.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences the health and safety culture within its scope, reducing occupational illness and injury rates, which in turn cuts down on workers' compensation costs and improves productivity. Your work ensures we meet our legal obligations globally, protecting the company's reputation and bottom line. Frankly, you're a key player in making sure our business runs smoothly and ethically.

Inside the business
  • Site Leadership Teams (Operations, HR, Engineering)
  • Global EHS (Environmental Health & Safety) Peers
  • Legal and Compliance Teams
  • HR Business Partners and Talent Management
Outside the business
  • External Occupational Health Providers
  • Regulatory Bodies (HSE, local equivalents)
  • Specialist Consultants (e.g., toxicologists, ergonomists)
  • Equipment and Technology Vendors

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (8+ years) in a dedicated occupational health role, with at least 3 years focused on programme design or leading health initiatives.
  • Demonstrable experience managing complex individual occupational health cases, including return-to-work planning for serious injuries or illnesses.
  • Strong analytical skills, with a track record of using health data to identify trends and inform preventative strategies.
  • Experience mentoring or providing formal guidance to junior occupational health professionals.
  • A solid understanding of the 'Hierarchy of Controls' and its practical application in mitigating workplace health risks.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly to diverse audiences.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced EHS/OHS Platform Configuration & Integration

We need to get more out of our EHS/OHS platforms. This means not just using them, but understanding how to configure them to meet evolving business needs, automate processes, and integrate them with other critical systems like HRIS or ERP for seamless data flow. You'll be the one pushing the boundaries of what the platform can do.

API Integration Basics · Workflow Automation Design · Data Governance Principles

  • This month: Deep dive into the advanced configuration options of our current EHS/OHS platform. See what's possible.
  • Next quarter: Identify one manual process that could be automated within the platform and design a new workflow for it.
  • Next 6 months: Work with IT and HR to explore potential data integrations between our OH system and HRIS.
  • Next year: Lead a project to optimise our platform's use, potentially evaluating new modules or features.

Quick win: Customise a dashboard in Cority or Enablon to provide a new, valuable insight for your site leadership. Explore the platform's reporting capabilities beyond standard reports.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry conferences and workshops (e.g., OH Today, IOSH events) to stay current with best practices and network with peers.
  • Engage in continuous professional development (CPD) activities to maintain your professional registration and enhance your specialist knowledge.
  • Seek out opportunities to present on occupational health topics internally or at external forums, building your reputation as an expert.
  • Participate in cross-functional projects that broaden your business acumen beyond pure occupational health, like a lean manufacturing initiative or an HR transformation project.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Predictive Health Analytics & AI Integration

We're moving beyond reactive reporting. The ability to predict potential health risks based on leading indicators (e.g., near misses, safety observations, changes in work processes, even environmental data) will be critical. AI tools are already here to help us do this more effectively, allowing us to intervene *before* incidents occur.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

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 Lead Global Occupational Health Advisor 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.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Develop and maintain individual and organisational competence in health and safety mattersLevel 5

Applied to your work in Lead Global Occupational Health Advisor

The objective of this unit is to enable learners to assess health and safety competence needs within an organisation, implement relevant and effective training programmes to address identified gaps, and develop strategies for maintaining individual and organisational competence through ongoing monitoring and feedback.

One to one, not one to many

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  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.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're juggling a lot. Imagine having a smart assistant that handles the tedious bits, freeing you up to focus on the strategic, impactful work you actually enjoy. That's what AI can do for a Lead Global Occupational Health Advisor.

We're not talking about replacing your expertise; we're talking about giving you superpowers. Our internal AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools designed to automate the repetitive tasks, give you quicker insights, and help you get more done. Frankly, those who use it are already seeing a massive difference.

Incident Report Triage Bot

This clever bot parses incoming incident reports, pulls out the critical details (like body part, incident type, location), and pre-populates your EHS system. It even flags high-risk reports for immediate human review, so you don't miss anything urgent. It's like having a super-fast admin for your inbox.

Ergonomic Risk Spotter

Imagine AI sifting through tons of anonymised incident and health data, then telling you, 'Hey, there's a statistically significant jump in wrist complaints in the packing department on the night shift.' This tool identifies emerging ergonomic risk hotspots *before* they turn into a wave of recordable injuries, giving you a head start on prevention.

Regulatory Intelligence Assistant

Keeping up with global health and safety regulations is a nightmare, right? This AI monitors relevant regulatory bodies worldwide, giving you concise summaries of changes to exposure limits or reporting requirements, along with an initial impact assessment. No more trawling through endless legal documents.

RTW Plan Drafter

Based on an employee's diagnosis, medical restrictions, and job description, this AI generates a first draft of a Return-to-Work plan. It suggests phased duties, timelines, and follow-up schedules. You then review, customise, and finalise it, saving you valuable time on each case. It's a great starting point, not a replacement for your judgment.

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 a Lead Global Occupational Health Advisor, 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 10 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 a Lead Global Occupational Health Advisor: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
