Health, Safety and Wellbeing Consultant Review

General risk assessment of staff need, incident reporting, site evaluation and safety tours, meeting minutes. I am responsible for creating and amending accident reports and conducting accident investigations, including lasing with local and national authorities. I am responsible for implementing and managing health related projects, which usually include running national campaigns on a local level.

I have learnt skills in Project Management in general. Specifically, how to organise a team of officers to aid completion of work, how to scope and business analyse projects, assess risk management and impact, create and update efficient time schedules, cost benefit analysis and forecasting, and stakeholder engagement with members of staff higher than me.

I enjoy learning new things and the programme is allowing me to learn lots of new skills. I enjoy the challenge of the tasks that are given to me, and enjoy revising to pass the exams that are part of the course. The work is always interesting and thought provoking.

Very well organised. I am given a new task to learn about a new subject, I then complete exercises on that learning, and then apply it to my general work. I then record evidence of the application and submit it to my assessor. This is then marked and returned to me with suggestions where applicable.

My employer allows me 20% of my working time to be given to my learning and apprenticeship. I am free to take this as 1 day a week, or multiple hours throughout a week. My employer allows all of my apprenticeship hours to be done within work time, so it doesn't have any effect on my personal life.

My assessor meets with me regularly, at least once every 6 weeks. However, if I need more help, I have the option to have more regualr meetings. The provider also aids me with uploading assignments and evidence to their portal, as well as giving me feedback and suggestions on all of my work.

My qualification is allowing me to correctly manage my projects in a way that I have never considered. This is allowing me to save time and money for my employer, and also gives me more time to work on other things. After reviewing my work with my manager, we have both agreed the qualification is improving my work.

I am a member of my employers Social Club, and we have a range of benefits including theatre trips, gym memberships, staff get-togethers, evenings/meals out, sporting events. We also host internal activities such as walking clubs, singing groups, prayer groups, and study groups for training qualifications and apprenticeships and similar.

Yes

My Local Government employer provides excellent pension benefits, very flexible working policies and strategies. We are aiming to be a carbon neutral employer, as well as working towards being a paperless Council with environmental concerns. We also have beautiful office spaces as well as heritage buildings. There are lots of opportunities for learning and promotion.

Be honest. I firmly believe my employer is looking for not only the most knowledgeable, but someone with experience and the ability to adapt well to a changing employer. There are lots of benefits with the social club, but also gym memberships, car and bike allowance schemes, local area discount cards etc.
