Step 1 of 3 - Personal information
Due to the nature of the role you have applied for we need to carry out a complete a new starter health questionnaire – even if you have been employed in UK health services before. The health of each candidate is considered individually and a decision regarding fitness for work in the prospective job role will be based on the functional effects of any underlying health condition/disability/impairment as well as health service requirements for fitness and immune status.
Before health clearance is given for employment you may be contacted by Healthier Business UK Ltd and may need to be seen by an occupational health advisor or physician with gained consent. We may recommend adjustments or assistance following an assessment to enable you to carry out your proposed duties safely and effectively. Recommendations to your employer will be directed to essential information regarding your health and the hazards and risks of your employment and with due reference to other relevant statutory requirements and professional practice. Our aim is to promote and maintain the health of all individuals in the workplace: staff, service users and third parties. Your records will be retained electronically in accordance with best practice and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations. Your records will be held on file for the purposes of processing your request only and for no longer than is necessary, however your records may be subject to internal clinical audits. Your records may also be used to cross reference and ascertain your fitness should you register with other clients of Healthier Business UK Ltd.
Consent is a process rather than a one off decision, for consent to be valid, it must be voluntary and informed. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any stage of the process, either verbally or in writing.
Further information regarding consent is available on the ‘Candidate Screening Leaflet’.
All information supplied by you will be held in confidence by Healthier Business UK Ltd. Records will be retained electronically in accordance with best practice and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations at which time it may be subject to audit. Your data may also be cross referenced should you have registered with other clients of Healthier Business UK Ltd. Your personal data may be required to be seen by an occupational health advisor or physician; however it will not be shown, nor their contents shared with anyone - including Managers, Human Resources Advisors, GP’s, Specialists or third party’s - without your explicit consent. You have the right of erasure (the right to be forgotten), refusal of consent and withdrawal of consent without detriment (withdrawal of consent can be exercised at any stage of the process). The only exceptions to this may be a court order for release of records in a judicial dispute or where there is a public responsibility obligation.
