I have also posted on Chat as I would like to get as many options as possible.
I currently work as a trade union rep but have become very disappointed with my role. I could work for another trade union but looking for a chance.
We have very little staff and our membership is mostly migrant worker’s many of who speak little English. This means I have a mixture of very boring repetitive cases(eg. small wages claims) and more complex cases( discrimination/ unfair dismissal)
I would like to work more towards discrimination / dismissal cases and am on the lookout for a role at places such as CAB.
I have also gone back and forth with the idea of joining CIPD and doing a course in hr( level 3/5) but it’s quite expensive.
I’m a single parent and wages are quite low for what we do.
My skills/qualifications include:
- good knowledge of Employment law including dealing with disciplinares, grievances, disability and racial discrimination,liaise with HR, ACAs, advising on COT3 settlements, preparing ET1 for tribunal etc, Subject Acess Request
- Language skills (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese)
- Degree in Law but decided I dint want to be a Solicitor or barrister as I don’t think I would be able to cope.
I’m looking to move from the charity sector to the private sector potentially starting at CAB for a short while then move to a private organisation.
If anyone has similar background to me or any ideas, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you in advance
