NVQ 3 in Occupational Work Supervision is more trade-specific and covers supervisory roles for individual trades, for instance, painters’ supervisor or formworkers’ supervisor.
The role of the supervisor will always involve managing the work of others to ensure they are carrying out their jobs correctly, efficiently and safely.
The role usually involves carrying out key health and safety practices such as performing site checks and inspections. In the majority of cases, supervisors will report directly to a manager, and work to the specifications set by them.
