Health & safety jobs offer some of the best job security around. Whilst businesses may have to cut back almost every area of their expenditure when times are tough, not paying enough focus to health and safety can easily land businesses with huge fines or even see them having to close their doors for good, and with more and more legislation on workplace safety being introduced all the time, health and safety vacancies are likely to become more numerous rather than fewer, even in the toughest of times.
However, just because it will be far easier to hang on to such a job even in a recession than it will be for those working in other areas, finding the right job can still be tough as the arena is still a very competitive one. It is going to be extremely important for anyone looking for health & safety jobs to have as many qualifications as possible and to seek as much unique training as they can if they wish to even be considered for a role. But even once you have had all the training you need you still need to be able to ensure that you can find the right jobs to apply for in the first place.
Many jobs in this sector will not be advertised through traditional means and therefore finding out about the right vacancies may well be very hard. As such, finding health and safety vacancies is likely to be far easier if you use a dedicated health and safety recruitment consultant. Not only will you find access to far more job vacancies, but you will also have dedicated resources at your disposal to help ensure you are matched far more specifically to the right job for you as well as ensuring you are as prepared for any interview, and indeed any job, as you can possibly be.
