Route into HR

Bryan

Hello All,

I am presently completing my level 5 in HR. I plan and will be finished at latest in December 2020 however I am hopeful to be completed before then.

My background is as a duty manager, line manager, senior manager and business owner in sports, retail and food service industries which had given me 20 years experience as a manager with 9 years of it in a larger retailer where as a line manager and senior manager I had a lot of exposure to dealing with people management and HR within my roles such as recruitment and selection, performance management, people management, disclipnary and investigations etc which I am seeing especially now with completion of this course.

My question is how do I translate this into jobs I can apply for once the course is completed.

For example I have a lot of business experience so would I be considered for a HR business partner role? 

Thanks for your help in advance.

I am from Edinburgh and would be looking to commence a full or part time role in HR on completion of the course and I am flexible to what level I start.

  • Business Partner may be overly enthusiastic at this stage. Even established HR Managers struggle sometimes to break into the role.

    The level 5 will underpin some of the theory behind the practice so you’ve made a good start. In terms of roles, I can’t comment - it all depends on how you market yourself I guess. There’s nothing wrong with HR Advisor type roles to start. What a HR Advisor will do will vary from org to org. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and really get involved in all aspects of HR and even gain knowledge about strategy etc.

    Thanks for reply. Just starting to look at all the different roles that are out there and as you have mentioned some seem to vary from organisation to organisation in what they are looking for. I have transferable experience and skills it’s just at what level these will align too or be considered for without having worked as a HR professional as such even though have gained practical HR and transferable experiences in managerial roles.
