It’s more common these days for people have to several different careers. Whereas once someone would have entered the workplace and maybe stayed at the same firm in the same field until they retired, modern careers are much more fluid. There’s no such thing as a job for life. People move around for promotions or a new challenge. Sometimes they have to contend with the fall out of redundancy. For some people there’s also the realisation that they aren’t in the right role. A square peg in a round hole. They want to do something more rewarding and perform a role that’s more in tune with their skill set and aptitude.
Health and safety offers an interesting and rewarding career. There are still far too many accidents in UK workplaces. The health and safety team are tasked with meeting compliance targets and instigating programmes and encourage healthier working. It’s a chance to make a real difference. Preventing accidents and saving lives is work that really matters.
Once people are qualified then they can start the job search. There are health and safety jobs all over the UK. Demand for these skills is high in all sorts of different organisations. So what’s the best way to secure a new job and start an exciting new career?
Applying for individual vacancies is time consuming and can get people down. Signing up with an agency is a much better idea. At any one time they have a host of health and safety vacancies on their books that they are looking to fill. They do the leg work for both the candidate and the employer, matching the right people to the right role. Armed with the right qualifications and attitude, and with the right agency behind them, prospective H&S officers can land themselves a new job.
