About Our Inside IR35 Occupational Health Contract Roles
What does a occupational health contractor do?
As a contract Occupational Health, you are hired to deliver workplace health assessments, fitness-for-work evaluations, health surveillance programmes, and strategic occupational health advice to employers. Contract engagements cover pre-employment health screening, management referrals for sickness absence, Display Screen Equipment assessments, workplace health promotion, and compliance with statutory health surveillance requirements under COSHH and other regulations. Occupational Health contractors work within in-house OH teams at large employers, for occupational health service providers, and as independent practitioners supporting multiple organisations.
Occupational Health contractor roles require registered nurse or physician qualifications with specialist occupational health training. OH nurses typically hold an occupational health nursing degree or diploma and NMC registration with a specialist community public health nursing qualification. OH physicians hold a Faculty of Occupational Medicine diploma or fellowship. Practical experience conducting fitness-for-work assessments, health surveillance programmes, and advising managers on complex absence cases is essential. Familiarity with occupational health case management systems such as Cohort, Meddbase, or Cority is commonly expected.
What is the market like for occupational health contractors?
The Occupational Health contract market is a specialist market with steady demand driven by employer obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the growing focus on employee wellbeing. The NHS, defence, manufacturing, and construction sectors are the most consistent sources of demand. Post-pandemic, the scope of occupational health has broadened, with employers investing more in mental health support, musculoskeletal assessment, and health promotion programmes. The pipeline of qualified OH practitioners is relatively constrained, supporting firm rates for experienced contractors.
What does Inside IR35 mean?
IR35 is UK tax legislation that determines whether a contractor is genuinely self-employed or working in a manner that resembles employment. When a contract is classified as inside IR35, income tax and National Insurance are deducted at source, typically via an umbrella company or agency PAYE. Headline day rates on inside IR35 engagements are generally higher than equivalent outside IR35 roles to account for the tax and employment cost structure.
Inside IR35 determinations are made where the working arrangements are considered to resemble employment, based on factors including the level of client control, the absence of a genuine right of substitution, and the presence of mutuality of obligation. Since April 2021, the end client is responsible for making this determination for medium and large private sector organisations. Many employers in financial services, government, and professional services assess the majority of their contractor engagements as inside IR35.
On QualityContracts.co.uk, approximately 49% of roles with a stated IR35 status are classified as inside IR35, making it the most common arrangement across the contract market. The proportion varies by sector and role type. Each listing on this page displays its IR35 status where provided by the hiring organisation.
What occupational health roles are usually Inside IR35?
Inside IR35 occupational health work is found in organisations with in-house OH services or NHS trusts providing occupational health support. The contractor conducts health surveillance, manages sickness absence referrals, and provides ongoing clinical advice within the client's OH protocols. Large employers, public sector bodies, and NHS occupational health services hire contract OH professionals for sustained inside IR35 engagements.
How much do occupational health contractors usually earn when working Inside IR35?
Contract rates for occupational health roles typically range from £350 to £650 per day, depending on the scope of the role, required expertise, and the delivery expectations of the engagement. Inside IR35 rates are typically 15% to 30% higher than equivalent outside IR35 roles to account for tax and national insurance deducted at source by the fee-payer.
