*Occupational health online questionnaire

In order for the University to support you in your new role, we need to ask a few questions in relation to your health and wellbeing.

Please complete our Occupational Health Pre-Employment Questionnaire. It may feel like you are providing personal information again, but that is because once submitted, the form is only accessible to our Occupational Health Team, not Human Resources.

Any information you provide remains confidential and is only shared where we may seek additional recommendations from occupational health experts about how to best provide any support or reasonable adjustments for you. Should you have any questions about the completion of the Occupational Health Pre-Employment Questionnaire, please direct them to [email protected].

Please note, your appointment is subject to medical clearance and is a key part of the recruitment process. Your start date with BU is reliant on receipt of your completed questionnaire.
