About the Role

The Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant is a varied role where you'll be out and about, supporting ill and injured people with a focus on returning to work. You'll spend most of your time visiting people in their workplaces or homes, speaking with employers to provide guidance (HR and Line Managers), operating independently and managing your own caseload.

Day-to-day, you'll be reviewing job descriptions, medical recommendations and other information; helping claims professionals to understand occupational duties; and liaising with multiple parties from employers to medical practitioners to recommend and guide appropriate vocational rehabilitation programs whilst considering their Occupational, Medical and Personal situation.

About You

As a Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant you will need strong communication and case management skills. Key to your success will be the ability to build solid relationships with colleagues, clients and individuals alike. You will also need to be an experienced Occupational Therapist, Psychologist or Health Nurse, with experience in vocational rehabilitation. Ideally, you will have experience working with large commercial clients and are familiar with writing reports as well as using standard tools and databases. Good organisation and planning will be crucial to manage your work load.
