On the Road in Occupational Health – Peripatetic OH Technician (East Midlands)
OH Medical is recruiting on behalf of a leading occupational health provider for an enthusiastic Peripatetic Occupational Health Technician to join a growing mobile clinical team.

No two days look quite the same, and the work you do genuinely helps keep the UK workforce healthy and safe.
