What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an opportunity to transition into an Occupational Health Nursing role, protecting employee health, preventing long-term conditions, and improving workplace well-being.

At Agile Occupational Health, I conduct occupational health surveillance for Cumbria Waste Management and Innovia, including audiometry, spirometry, vision and skin checks, and HAVS assessments. I also complete pre-employment and exit medicals, immunisations, and fitness-for-work evaluations.

At North Cumbria Integrated Hospital, I provide holistic care to elderly patients with complex medical needs. My clinical work includes venepuncture, catheterisation, IV therapy, and wound management.

As a Tissue Viability Link Nurse, I share updates and training with colleagues, and I mentor student nurses in clinical skills and NMC standards. Earlier, as an Assistant Practitioner, I supported stroke rehabilitation patients, and as a Healthcare Assistant, I cared for people with dementia.

I completed a BSc in Occupational Health Practice in 2026, building on my Occupational Health Diploma and training in audiometry, spirometry, immunisations, and travel health. I’m seeking to transition into an Occupational Health Nursing role focused on protecting employee health, preventing long-term conditions, and improving workplace well-being.
