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.

  • Lastly, network. Something I need to do more of. Maybe join your local CIPD branch, attend events run by external organisations. A company called Peninsula offer some great (and free) employment law and health and safety update events. CIPD also do some good ones, but unless an employer is paying, they are expensive, which is a shame. I would love to attend some of their events but can’t justify £600 for a ticket. Finally, and this is something I am now trying to do, shadow senior professionals. Ask questions and gain insights. In my case, I have operational HR experience, but want to learn more about strategy, change management and organisational design.
