\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and the National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) have today launched a new Careers Hub to encourage people to pursue
\na career in the pest control industry.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Hosted on the RSPH website, the hub brings together practical guidance on entering the industry, including career pathways, qualifications, and job roles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWHAT CHALLENGES IS THE PEST CONTROL INDUSTRY FACING\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe pest control industry is currently facing significant recruitment challenges, with some estimates showing that it faces losing up to 40% of its workforce to retirement
\nover the next ten years.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis poses a threat to the health of the public, as pest control plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of diseases.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHOW WILL THE CAREERS HUB HELP?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe hub is designed to support:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
    \n
  • Existing pest control professionals who are looking to expand or progress their careers<\/li>\n
  • New entrants who are looking to take their first steps into the sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy setting out what pest control involves on a day-to-day basis, as well as why it matters to the health of communities, the hub seeks to make pest control a more
    \nattractive and accessible career choice.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt also encourages young people to join the workforce by advertising some of the innovative work being carried out by NPTA and partners, including the 5<25 Professional Futures programme which provides fully funded pest control training to a young cohort.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNPTA are calling on partners across the industry to share the hub with their networks and encourage the next generation of talent to join the sector.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n

    \u201cLaunching this project with RSPH is a proud moment for the NPTA.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe pest control industry is critical for protecting people\u2019s health, but we are facing some serious recruitment challenges. Only by raising awareness of the industry and
    \ndemonstrating how valuable and rewarding of a career it can be can we begin to tackle this problem.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe cannot solve the recruitment challenge alone, which is why partnering with RSPH was so important. Their role as an awarding body for our industry qualifications adds
    \nreal weight, and their links to colleges, educators and the wider public health community give us the reach we need to inspire the next generation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe hope that this project will be a key moment in inspiring the next generation of pest control workers to help us continue this crucial work in the years to come.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJENNI PEPRELL, DIRECTOR OF QUALIFICATIONS, ROYAL SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, SAID:JENNI PEPRELL, DIRECTOR OF QUALIFICATIONS, ROYAL SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, SAID:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThe pest control workforce plays a significant role in protecting the public\u2019s health from a range of serious diseases and illnesses. The importance of this role will only grow over the years to come, with factors such as the climate emergency completely reshaping the challenges encountered by pest management professionals in the UK.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    Like many sectors of the wider public health workforce, the pest control industry is struggling to attract the workers of the future. That\u2019s why we are really pleased about this new partnership with the NPTA.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Working together with the NPTA and with the wider industry, we are confident that the Careers Hub will play a leading role in bringing through the UK\u2019s next generation of pest controllers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
