HR professional looking to restart career in the UK

Hello Everyone, I’m excited to be part of the CIPD community. I am currently pursuing my CIPD Level 5 in People Management. Although I don’t yet have HR experience in the UK, I previously worked in HR for almost 4 years in Dubai, mainly covering recruitment, payroll, and general HR administration. I have now been living in the UK for nearly 2 years (based in Sheffield) and I’m very keen to restart my HR career here. Despite applying to many roles, I haven’t yet been able to secure an opportunity. Alongside my HR journey, I am also the author of Everyday Mindfulness: Staying Focused in a Busy World, which reflects my passion for wellbeing and productivity in both personal and professional life. If anyone has advice, guidance, or is aware of HR opportunities in Sheffield or nearby areas, I would be very grateful for your support. Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all.

  • I would start by finding your local CIPD branch and actively engaging with them.  Also worth checking local Councils and NHS Trusts on a regular basis.

    If you are applying for generalist roles, there could be questions about your level of knowledge on UK employment law.  Take the time now to get a good basic understanding by reading the ACAS guides, signing up to employment law newsletters eg Danial Barnett or any other way of updating your knowledge.
