I started with Safewell as an Occupational health technician in January 2017 and bring with me a wealth of knowledge from the world of Personal training and sports therapy, with over 15 years experience. I have also worked for the Out of hours service as Co-ordinator which has given me invaluable experience working with many different medical cases and the skills to be able to use the correct resources to be able to get the best appropriate care to those patients. With many other roles that I have performed from care assistant to an RAF reserves serviceman and much more, I bring a wealth of experience and understanding to the role at Safewell.
Lindsey Rawlins – Occupational Health Technician
I started with Safewell as an Occupational health technician in July 2017. My early career was as a Registered General Nurse and I moved into Occupational Health nursing in 1982. I gained the Occupational Health Nursing Diploma from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1994 whilst working for an international food manufacturer. After a career break (going back packing around the world), I worked as an HCA at a hospice and am delighted to be back doing Occupational Health for Safewell. I bring with me lots of experience in many different areas of OH.

We have worked with Safewell for many years and are retained clients, so we have developed an excellent working relationship with the team. However, this really came into its own when Covid 19 appeared.
As a Plumbing and Heating business, we were able to carry on working during the lockdown but only for responding to emergencies. We were obviously very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and before we even had chance to get in touch with Safewell, they had emailed us offering their assistance. It is hard to put down on paper how that made us feel - we like everyone else felt totally at sea, which way to turn, what to do? But Safewell were there guiding, supporting and being totally brilliant. Their attention to detail is very impressive and reassuring and we feel able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly.
During the pandemic Safewell helped us to write risk assessments, safety procedures and protocols. They kept in touch regularly, issuing new guidance as soon as it appeared and checking in with us. They held group Q&A sessions over Zoom which were helpful, and knowing other businesses were facing the same challenges and having the opportunity to discuss issues was invaluable. Their help during the preparation for a full return to work was brilliant, they enabled us to be fully prepared and feel in control, and when we had our first case of Covid within the team, because we had planned our response it felt ok.
I think our team felt very reassured by our robust approach and that our office was Covid secure. We are extremely grateful to all the team at Safewell
