The Role

Reporting directly to the Group Safety, Wellbeing & Training Manager, you will manage a national caseload with a heavy focus on physical and psychological injury recovery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Data & Investigation: Maintain a high-detail national Excel claims register and review site documentation to prepare evidence for claim liability.
• Suitable Duties: Proactively develop and monitor return-to-work plans that align with both medical capacity and operational needs.
