You'll use your consultancy and interviewing techniques to draw out information from employees, and use your clinical reasoning ability to develop comprehensive reports and provide appropriate recommendations and return to work plan for individuals.

At Unum we have a whole range of benefits including professional subscriptions and qualifications, a performance bonus, pension, life insurance and income protection, but most importantly we are big on mental health and wellbeing for our employees and our customers, and if you are looking for flexibility in your working week then just let us know.
