CREATING THE FUTURE 2002
CIVIL SERVICE CAREERS FAIR FOR GRADUATES RETURNS

CREATING THE FUTURE FOR MINORITY ETHNIC GRADUATES interested in a career in the Civil Service, is becoming easier. Creating the Future 2002 is a free two day exhibition. It offers; one on ones with recruitment staff, a discussion panel of senior civil servants sharing their experiences of working in the Civil Service, and seminars and workshops by government departments and agencies.

Creating the Future 2002 plays a vital role in supporting government department's and agency's efforts to recruit increasing numbers of minority ethnic Britons into the Civil Service.

As at the 1991 census, minority ethnic Britons made up approximately 5.6% of the population. The 2001 census will probably show that minority ethnic Brits account for around 10% of the total populations, an important and significant minority. In government departments and agencies, around 6% of civil servants are of minority ethnic origin. In senior management positions they make up only 2.4%.

Against this background, the government is committed to increasing the ethnic diversity of civil service departments and agencies and is keen to bring in and develop talented people from a broader range of backgrounds. In this regard, minority ethnic Britons have a great deal to offer given the increasing levels of academic achievement and progress in UK industry and commerce.

Exhibitors include the Crown Prosecution Service, the Department for Education and Skills, the Food Standards Agency, GCHQ, the Home Office and the Inland Revenue.

CREATING THE FUTURE 2002 takes place on TUESDAY 16th JULY 5pm-8pm & WEDNESDAY 17th JULY 11am-8pm at CENTRAL HALL WESTMINSTER, Storey's Gate, SW1.

ENTRY IS FREE by pre-registration through the CAREERS FAIR HOTLINE: 020 8405 1266 or online by visiting www.blacknet.co.uk and www.dcmedias.co.uk

All employees of the
HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE
share one mission:

"To ensure that risks to people's health and safety from work activities are properly controlled"

In short, we protect people and reduce risks. If you want to make a vital contribution to the well being of others, if you have what it takes and are prepared to work hard to acquire the skills and knowledge through demanding training schedules, HSE may be the organisation for you.

In return, we will provide a rewarding and interesting career in an organisation which has a substantial international reputation on matters relating to health and safety. Around 4000 individuals work for HSE in many different roles.

The main business of HSE is undertaken by our inspection teams.

Other, equally important, activities are undertaken by our:

Experience, background, beliefs and ways of working vary enormously. Our success is built around the strengths of the indi-viduals we employ. We encourage a culture where the strengths of each individual are recognised and valued and where dif-ferences are seen to enrich the organisation. We want to ensure that our workforce understands and can influence the diverse community we protect. We therefore particularly welcome applications from minority ethnic groups and women who are under-represented in HSE. However, more importantly, we want applications from individuals who genuinely appreciate and share our values.

We are committed to maintaining the Investors in People standard and the development opportunities offered are wide rang-ing, including a significant investment in training.

What does HSE do?

Every working day in Britain at least one person is killed and over six thousand are injured at work.

We have a substantial international reputation on matters relating to Health and Safety. We protect the health, safety and welfare of employees and safeguard others, principally the public, who may be exposed to risk from industry. This includes:

factories...~.. building sites...~.. mines...~.. farms...~.. fairgrounds quarries...~.. chemical plant...~.. schools..~... hospitals.....
offshore and nuclear installations...~.. railways

Our aims are to modernise and simplify the law, secure compliance with it, provide information and advice, promote risk as-sessment and to maintain an efficient and effective service. Change, to keep pace with developments in technology and busi-ness practices and to meet the needs of our stakeholders, is a central characteristic of our work.

Because we have such a diverse workforce and such a varied remit, HSE is organised into a number of Directorates and Divi-sions each with specific responsibilities. For example, one covers safety policy and the development of guidance and legisla-tion in connection with explosives, flammable substances and mining. Others deal with specific industries such as railways, nuclear, offshore, construction and so on.

HSE is a national organisation with offices throughout Great Britain. We also have research laboratories in Buxton (Derby-shire) and Headquarter sites in London and Bootle (Merseyside) where most of our policy and administrative functions are based.

Benefits of working for HSE

Over and above your basic salary and excellent training, we offer you a permanent contract of employment and personal non-contributory pension benefits. In addition, you will be entitled to a generous annual leave entitlement.

We value our employees and recognise that you may need to combine work with the demands of family life. We are commit-ted to family friendly policies including paid paternity leave and additional maternity leave subject to certain conditions. In addi-tion we can offer flexible working arrangements, including part-time and jobshare. Some sites also have child care facilities and play schemes during school holidays.

Other benefits include: the power to influence public policy; contributing to modernising government; work plans and targets developed in partnership between you and your line manager; objectively based performance appraisal; a supportive environ-ment based on teamwork, professional and personnel back-up; access to a wide range of information technology; and collec-tive and individual representation.

What do you need?

Our employees come from a variety of backgrounds. Whatever your background, you will need the intellectual ability and stamina to complete our training and be able to demonstrate a range of important personal attributes which are vital to your success in the role. Our selection processes are competence based.

For our administrative roles, you would not normally require formal qualifications. For inspection roles we would prefer appli-cants to have a degree or equivalent qualification, but we will also consider your application if you do not have a degree as long as you can demonstrate an equivalent level of achievement through work based learning and/or other aca-demic/professional qualifications. However, for our more specialist roles, we expect relevant qualifications/ membership of a professional body and a number of years work experience in a relevant industry. A full and valid driving licence, which entitles you to drive in the UK, is required for all inspection roles.
