As businesses become more aware that investments in safety, health and
wellbeing are giving them edge, the role of H&S Profession becomes ever more
important and is rising up the strategic agenda.
The profession faces a number of skills gaps over the coming years. IOSH’s 2018
research into employers’ competency requirements is indicating that professionals
need to become close partners to the business.
Technical Knowledge is assumed, it’s the skills around strategy, understanding of
business, leadership, relationship management and negotiation planning that are
coming into force – NCFE IOSH Level 3 Safety & Health in Business

Reasons for leaving
• Professionals are often declined at interview because employers just don’t believe they are motivated enough, or their reasons for leaving won’t be resolved in the new role.
Career plan
• If you say you’d like to be a Director in 5 years, an employer may think this is not realistic in their company and that they are the wrong fit for you.
Salary
• Do your research if you are looking for a higher salary to see if your skills and experience can command in your local area and whether your demands are realistic.

Anticipate likely questions
Have the right motives
• There are some circumstances, such as redundancy, that are self-explanatory, but if
you feel that you have reached the natural end of your current job then you need to
examine why this is the case
Prepare your answers
• If you give your reason for leaving as lack of opportunity be clear on the reasons why.
• A much better answer than “I need a new challenge” would be:
• “due to the size of the company they couldn’t offer study support” or,
• “I am qualified now and they couldn’t offer me a role fitting my experience.”
• This will show you know what is needed to further your career and are clear in your
motivations.
