Recruiting the best people

The best way to reach new employees is through the leading magazine that all IOSH members receive – Safety and Health Practitioner. SHP has the largest readership of any health and safety magazine in the UK, and a dedicated recruitment website, SHP4jobs.

Not sure what skills or qualifications to ask for in an advert? Get in touch with our Membership team or call +44 (0)116 257 3198 and we'll help you understand what kind of professional you need for the role you're recruiting.

What about SMEs?

If you're a small or medium-sized enterprise, you may not need to employ a full-time health and safety professional. But you'll still need someone to go to for advice and to audit how your organisation performs. IOSH has a Register of health and safety consultants who are all Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners, which means that they have proven experience and qualifications. You can be confident that the person you work with will be an expert in practice as well as on paper.
