Hi,
I’m looking for advice progressing from a volunteer to a more permanent Health and safety role.
I’m currently completing NVQ6 for grad iosh status, with the entry to teaching certificate planned straight after. I’m in touch with every recruitment agency I see crop up on Facebook,linkedin Twitter etc.
As I’m currently full time employed in a manual role within the construction sector, that is where my expertise will be.
My thoughts at the moment are moving into self employment, and doing both roles Part time until I’m established as a safety professional.

So my question is how would I find work as a health and safety professional in that scenario? Or has anyone any suggestions on how I could progress?
