At Dorset Police and Devon & Cornwall Police, they are bringing together their two occupational health services into a single, in-house service covering the two Forces across the three counties. As Chief Medical Officer you will take this important programme of work forward to operational reality, while ensuring continued delivery of both day-to-day service provision and your critical strategic advisory role.

As the lead Doctor for both Forces, you will provide leadership for the creation and development of a joint occupational health service for both Dorset Police and Devon & Cornwall Police. Replacing current in-house and outsourced arrangements with a unified in-house service, you will support their vision to be an exemplar for recruitment and retention by creating a Beacon of Excellence in Police Occupational Health provision.

You will shape and implement the health and wellbeing strategy, driving forward their focus on promoting and improving the emotional resilience of all their people. You will develop, enable and deliver high-quality occupational health services for 4600 police officers and 4000 police staff working across three counties. You will explore opportunities for further collaboration, and support research-based responses to the challenges facing health and wellbeing in modern policing. Building on their successful multi-agency approach, you will be the voice of occupational health in the Alliance, as well as providing representation and thought leadership both regionally and nationally.

To succeed in this role, you will be a senior occupational physician with appropriate GMC registration. You will bring extensive experience in leading and strategically developing occupational health services in large, complex organisations. You will be able to demonstrate a track record of working across organisational boundaries and successfully promoting and implementing health and wellbeing at work.
