Hi

As an incentive to any prospective employer it is possible for me to work for 15 days for zero payment. Also after this period, if a position is offered then a subsidy will be payable to the employer for 13 weeks. This is arranged through JobCentre Plus.

I have worked as a foreman in the construction industry, mainly utilities, for over 20 years. Recent redundancy has edged me in the direction I have been looking towards for several years, Health and Safety. I am expecting the results for my Nebosh Construction Certificate this week and will be taking the Nebosh Certificate in Environmenatl Management on 8th December. Both self funded. I have N.R.S.W.A, C.S.C.S and various other course certificates.

My last 13 years were spent with two of the largest construction companies in the U.K. With the redundancies looming I was allowed to spend my final 3 months working alongside the Health and Safety advisor carrying out assessments, inspections, audits etc. I believe this has given me a solid foundation to build upon, along with my vast eperience in the Industry.

If you feel I lack advisory experience but view my overall Industry experience as an asset then please consider the above options, what have you got to lose?

I am based in the West Midlands but have my own transport and will travel nationally.

For any further information please pm me usink the tab below or email me at dazandjayne@hotmail.co.uk

Kind regards

Darren

Hi DNW,
Is this the 'Work Trials' from the jobcentre?
If so my understanding of it is a little bit different to yours.
Firstly there needs to be a position which you've been accepted for, and only then can you do a Work Trial to see if you like the role and people there, giving you the option to try the job before you accept it without it effecting your benefits.
Secondly I was told it was for upto 6 weeks (30 Days) but this would be rare and seen as the company taking a lend of the situation.
Thirdly If a company is willing to undertake the 'Work Trials' the jobcentre sends out an individual to risk assess the work place before you start and ensure training is given. I think I'm right in saying that the Jobcentre cover liability.
I know this because I only got the information yesterday.
Do you have a downloaded copy of the 'Work Trial' letter which you can attach to your CV? If not I'll send you it by PM if you want it.

Good Luck in your job search, we both need it I think.
