Hi everyone, after a bit of guidance....
So I was an HR practitioner before I had my son (child off to uni in a couple of years) and now find myself at a bit of a cross-roads.
Whilst child rearing I did a graphic design qualification and kept a bit of an HR hand in with policy development and advice for various small businesses and voluntary organisations. A couple of years ago I went back to a workplace to a facilities management role which challenged all the issues of returning to a commercial work place... confidence, skills etc. So now Ive proven to myself that it's still there - so to speak! Im wondering about my next move. I had thought not back into HR because I never got to CIPD and my competency was experienced based throughout the jobs I had. However, I jolly well miss it! I find myself advising myself as a manager in the third person and wanting to solve employment related issues which isn't my area! The other thing Ive picked up over the years is a propensity for H&S so NEBOSH is also being thrown at me.
Arrrrggggg. Help!
I know its pricey and I know it'll be Level 7. Should I take the plunge, Am I too old to get back into the game, can I do it. Is this going backwards not forwards. Where do I start or should I start! Professional qualification route?
I'd welcome advice from anyone and everyone but especially returning to work parents who've been in this position.
Thanks in advance for your time.
