I frequently look at the vacancies and there are very few in the South Wales area, if any at all. If any employer is looking for someone who is from a military background and a good working knowledge of Health and Safety, with 5 years experience as a trainer/advisor, who is keen and reliable please contact me and I will happily supply you with much more information. Many thanks Mike

Thats true, but the amount of industry should mean that there is plenty of vacancies???

Mike here in Wales it is difficult at the moment, but there are Jobs in Cardiff, I live right down in west Wales, where there ar no jobs at all, look at this website Jobrapido

'appears'

Mike, it's a case of being around in the right place at the right time. I work away from home for 5 days of the week at the moment in hope of a more local placed job, even thinking of self employment when I achieve Chartered membership and have had 5 years experience in Construction environment and learning how civi street works. Many peers in the construction industry work away from home.

I have seen many adverts for Amazon over the past year and there was an advert in SHP a month or two ago. I am scratching my head why it cannot be filled or do the new starters leave after a short period there?

I am still looking on all web sites, I live in the Pembroke area, My job is under threat, as the company are thinking of closing, and moving the manufacturing somewhere else, probably China, I was looking at the Amazon job, but it gets advertised every month

Might be of interest, http://www.shp4jobs.co.u...nd-environmental-officer "An exciting opportunity has arisen for a health and safety advisor, to join a national charity. This role can be based from either their South Wales office, or the greater London area although the position will involve heavy travelling through Wales to various sites" Peter

What is it with potential employers that they seem to almost always ask for someone with experience of their particular sector? (relating to the Amazon advert wanting warehouse experience). I can understand the nuclear and other high-hazard sectors, but warehousing? Any safety practitioner should be able to adapt to most medium risk sectors, surely? We are selling our profession short. What do employers think the SP does, to make it essential that they have actually worked for a warehouse? I was rejected by a recruitment agency to be put forward for a job in FM. I have bags of council experience, and property management / FM is always a large component (in with all the other stuff). The client specifically asked for someone only from an FM company. How hard is FM H&S? Frankly, recruitment agencies should be advising their clients better, but I have always ignored "experience" elements in direct applications, with some success. Nothing ventured . . . Todays buyers market makes it trickier I guess.
