Hi,

Are any of you out there self-employed H&S Contractors, or small business owners? If so, would you mind answering a couple of quick research questions for me? 

I've been working as a health and safety advisor for a few years in education. This will be coming to an end soon but I can't find anything on the employment market that fits me, or that I fit. I've always wanted to be self employed and am considering setting up a virtual assistant type business. I have high level admin skills, am very IT orientated, and, as well as a NEBOSH general cert (and fire cert)  am also HR qualified. The other part of my current role is data protection, so I'm also GDPR/DPA proficient.

Can I ask:

Do any of you self employed H&S professionals use admin services like this?

Is it something that you would consider to relieve some of the administrative burden (and, in which case, what services would be most useful?)

and would it be helpful that I have a H&S background?

I would be really grateful for anyone that could spare a couple of mins to help me!
