Recruitment

For high quality management of your employees' health at work, the choice is yours whether to-

1) Employ your own OH Professional.
If so, call us now for details of trained Lifeline OH Professionals who are looking for the right move. Our recruitment rates are very reasonable and compare well with the cost of placing your own ads, and spending valuable management time processing applications and interviewing. We can advise on exactly the kind of OH professional for your company's needs and send you details of suitable candidates. You of course only pay if you actually decide to employ that person.

2) Appoint Lifeline as your OH Provider.
The other, often preferable option is to arrange a contract with an Occupational Health Provider to manage your OH service, provide trained, professional staff, carefully matched to the needs of the job, the employees and the workplace. Remembering of course to choose Lifeline Occupational Health!

There are many advantages to using an external consultancy such as;

• duration can be fixed or flexible, short or long term and can be altered according to need
• If certain staff provided are not wholly suitable at review meetings they can often be changed, to ensure you get the right person for you.
• Holiday pay normally built in to the costs
• Don't have to pay sick pay in most cases
• More likely than with employed staff to get cover from us for sickness
• availability of staff as often you could advertise more than once and still not get any OH staff-they may not want to work directly for an organisation like yours and often prefer the back-up and support of colleagues a consultancy offers. They can feel isolated if they are the only medical person working for you
• we provide the essential clinical governance (quality control) required for all medical and nursing personnal in this times. No-one in your organisation can do the clinical audit or professional appraisal required unless medically or nursing qualified

To enquire about arranging having Lifeline as your Occupational Health Provider, please contact Dr Mike O'Reilly, Clinical Director mike@lifelineoh.co.uk or Helen Woodcock, business manager helen@lifelineoh.co.uk.
