Recruitment support for BCIL Peer Support Brokers

Barnet Centre for Independent Living goes live on 1st April - providing a one stop shop for vulnerable adults in the borough.

I have been working with Caroline Collier, the BCIL manager, to develop the job description, competency framework and selection tools for the recruitment of peer support brokers. These brokers (equivalent of 4 full time posts - mostly working on a part-time basis) will provide one to one advice, information and advocacy so that a holistic plan of support is developed for each individual. Brokers will have first hand experience of disability or mental health issues.

Caroline was overwhelmed with applications - a good sign! I provided shortlisting support and designed a competency based interview - and also assisted with the appointment decisions.
