There are a number of occupational health jobs available up and down the country, however many people struggle to find the perfect job for them.

As more people compete for occupational health jobs, it is even more important to consider all possible sectors when looking for work.

Website, Prospects recently interviewed a lady called Lydia who is currently in one of the much sought after jobs in occupational health- a health and safety manager.

In her interview, she explains that she initially obtained a degree in biological sciences from Nottingham Trent University before studying with the British Safety Council for a Level 6 diploma in Occupational Safety and Health.

Although she is currently working in the occupational hygiene field for companies that deal in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, Lydia admits that she fell into the role by chance after her employer suggested she study a degree in occupational health.

Speaking to Prospects she explained that she gained a lot of experience supporting a radiation protection supervisor before moving into a management role. With such a great potential for her to earn more money she then decided to go back to study for a Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety.

She said: "The vocational nature of the role suits my personality and once I realised that there was also a good earning potential, I decided to study for a relevant professional qualification and develop my career in the field."

As part of her role, Lydia is responsible for promoting a positive health and safety culture within the workplace. She also carries out risk assessments and makes recommendations to company's senior managers.

She added: "My favourite parts of the job are the interaction with employees at all levels in the company, and promoting sensible and positive attitudes to safety. Less favourable is the fact that the job does involve a lot of influencing and persuading this is OK, but can be wearing at times!"
