Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small multi-disciplinary team of scientists and clinicians within the Environmental Medicine and Sciences Division at the Institute of Naval Medicine (INM). Our mission is summarised as: a Centre of Excellence bringing together scientists and medical professionals to improve the health of the UK Armed Forces. Our aim is to excel in achieving that mission and to maintain and enhance our standing as a world class centre in occupational health, particularly in problems associated with work and operations in maritime and climatically hostile environments.
The Environmental Medicine and Sciences Division (EMS) achieves the above through assurance in the form of independent assessments, analyses, advice, and training from scientific and medical Subject Matter Experts. This may sometimes require health surveillance, audits, or small research projects. Our role is to assure the Royal Navy of its legal compliance and responsibilities, i.e. its Duty of Care. We support the occupational health and safety of the Royal Navy, to maintain the health and well-being of personnel.
At the Institute of Naval Medicine, we offer an impressive range of on-site facilities including a gymnasium, volleyball court, gardens, plenty of car parking spaces, a canteen with indoor and outdoor seating, and ‘mess’ facilities - in which military and civilian staff can socialise and eat. The Institute is in the seaside settlement of Alverstoke, a short walk from award-winning Georgian era gardens and a shingle beach with views of the Isle of Wight. There are nature reserves nearby and the cities of Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester can be reached within 30 to 45 minutes by car.
As a civil servant in Navy Command, you will be part of a forward-looking organisation with inclusive workplace policies, excellent career prospects, and a job that makes a difference.
Navy Command prides itself on being a supportive employer and where possible encourages flexible working, helping you to maintain a great work-life balance. In Navy Command we believe that everyone has the potential to make a difference and you will be supported to help you learn and advance in your career. Successful candidates can discuss their development options with their manager when in post.
This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.
