Career, struggling to move on

Louisa

I am currently working for the NHS as a HR advisor, in total I have 6/7 years HR experience. I also have L7 CIPD, an MSc in HRM  and CMI membership.

I have a lot of ER experience as well as recruitment and some generalist experience. Around a year ago I got a new role in the hope of gaining experience on HR projects and TUPE as a way to become a better rounded HR professional. The job was not as expected as it's focus is 90% on ER and I haven't been given any project work. I have now been trying to get a new position for the last 8 months with zero success. I am only getting interviews for NHS roles but I would like to try something different although private sector businesses are not interested and tell me to stay were I am to gain more experience which isn't helpful as it's the reason I'm looking for a move.

Has any one been in this position as it's becoming very disheartening, I attend CPD events and really do not now what to do next to move on. Any advise would be great.

Thanks

  • The private sector often wants sector specific experience, but job security can be less, hours longer and private companies (such as banks) are well known for laying off and making staff redundant which can also be in HR if they decide to outsource the department.

    I would personally stay in the public sector or try to move to the Civil Service, local councils, police etc.
