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.

  • Hi Bryan

    I did my Level 5 qualification in 2016/17 hoping to move into HR. I have 9 years experience as a trainer and (now) have 5 years experience as a manager. The biggest problem I found was that any job I applied for wanted direct HR advisory experience over qualifications.

    For the last 17 years I have worked in a role that deals with implementing legislation directly (albeit nor HR legislation) but the idea is the same.

    Unfortunately I have been unable to find a role that can pay me something near to what I am currently on. I don't expect the same level of pay but, as other posters have said, I would need to take a pay cut of around £13k to get into HR and just cannot do this.

    Good luck in your search though.
