Getting on the Health and Safety Career Ladder
Despite what many people may think, health & safety jobs are available for NVQ applicants as well as graduates. Indeed, it is possible to study for NVQs at any time, so even if you leave school with no qualifications at all; you can still progress up to an NVQ level 6 diploma (which is the equivalent of a degree).
Of course, you will still need to find health and safety jobs once your studying comes to an end. Sadly, this can often be a frustrating experience as many health & safety jobs require you to have previous experience.
Naturally, this begs the eternal question: “How do I get experience without a job? And furthermore: “How do I get a job without experience?”
Although this may sound like the opening shots of a French farce; there are thankfully, solutions at hand.
We here at OS Recruitment have a wide selection of health & safety jobs available to applicants of all grades and expertise. Although most of our health and safety manager vacancies require applicants to have a NEBOSH National Diploma level 4 and prior experience, we also have a range of health and safety assistant positions which require applicants to have no more than a few GCSEs and no experience.
So, regardless of whether you’re on your first rung of the health and safety ladder or want to develop an established career even further; make us here at OS recruitment your first port of call.
