New starter health assessments

Upon offer of employment with the University, you will be issued with a Health Declaration Form and possibly a New Starter Health Questionnaire form to complete.

Please refer to the UAS recruitment webpage for further details.

This declaration gives new starters the opportunity to disclose any health condition or disability which they believe may affect their ability to undertake their full job role. It is also an opportunity for the individual to receive support and advice from the Occupational Health Service and the Equality and Diversity Unit on any workplace adjustments and/or adaptations to the role that may be needed to accommodate the individual’s health needs within the workplace.

The form should be sent back to your recruiting officer who will either send it to Occupational Health or the Staff Disability and Equality Advisor. 

For more information in regards to staff disability, visit the Equality and Diversity Unit (EDU) webpages.

New starters undertaking roles where workplace risks and hazards have been identified will also be asked to complete a New Starter Health Questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to ask relevant health questions related to risks and activities being undertaken within the role.

We may need to contact you to discuss your medical issues in more detail. Where possible we will contact you via email or telephone but on occasions, we will invite you into the department for a face-to-face assessment with one of our clinical team.
