Posted By mark limon I have just looked at SHP online and it has an abundance of jobs at all levels of salary,must be worth a look for all you people seeking work

Posted By MikeP Most want CMIOSH / Experience or both.

Posted By Edward Blanchard I find this thread particularly interesting. The "SHP4jobs" webpage in part, is supposed to replace the facility that was hitherto offered on this forum. In the past I have obtained work via this forum on several occasions. A week ago I posted a thread advertising my availability. This was "locked" by the IOSH web-team before any offers appeared. A week later, I have only received one genuine enquiry. (I did receive another from a person who thought I might like to spend my time collecting money from a dubious sounding charity). I used SHP4jobs webpage earlier this week. The only contract opportunity in my chosen area, was a post that had been filled a week ago. I reported my concerns to the IOSH webpage team. Their advice included bringing this to the attention of the SHP4jobs organisers. I had been under the impression that this facility was part of IOSH. Neverthelss I contacted SHP4jobs and discussed my concerns. I requested details of relevant contrract work. There was only one opportunity and guess what - it was the job that had been filled, by now, some 10 days earlier!! "Jobs a plenty" there may be advertised on the SHP4jobs webpage, I wonder how many actual vacancies are included? This forum has provided an invaluable facility for persons, such as myself, seeking contract work etc. SHP4jobs is not an effective replacement. I hope that IOSH will listen to its members needs. I certainly intend to attend my branch meeting next month and raise this issue. Perhaps members with similar views could lobby their branch meetings also. I look forward to hearing other views, hopefully in support.

Posted By Anthony Edwards Jane, I can confirm that Mark did place a thread on the main Forum yesterday and I was about to put a reply on to it but a pop up appeared stating that the web site was having a problem and the thread has now vanished. Mark, I agree with your comments especially regarding the SHP job website and the amount of time jobs are left on the site even after they have been filled regards Nutty

Posted By Sharon It was Edward who posted the thread not Mark.

Posted By Anthony Edwards You're correct Sharon. Was never any good with names Nutty

Posted By IOSH Moderator To clarify. No such message has been posted on the Members forum. It was not lost. Jane

Posted By Anthony Edwards Sorry Jane, you are correct it was not on the members forum but it was on the OSH discussion forum. Regards Nutty

Posted By Peter Taylor14 they are non-existant agency jobs

Posted By Edward Blanchard I confirm that I placed a thread on the other Forum. The moderator was rather "sharp" and it was promptly removed. My criticisms did not meet with approval. Perhaps they were too "plain" and factual. I shall pursue via other means, such as my local branch secretary and the specialist group to which I belong.
