Beacon is delighted to announce our next webinar! This session is for rare disease patient group leaders who are thinking about recruiting in the future and want to learn the first steps.
Please note, this webinar will focus on the essential steps to take before starting your recruitment journey. If your organisation is ready to start hiring and you’re seeking practical guidance on the recruitment process itself, consider joining our upcoming masterclass: Hire with impact: Recruitment training for patient groups.
Are you looking to take your patient group to the next step?
If you’re looking to grow and professionalise your rare disease organisation, then taking on paid staff might be your next move.
Bringing on paid staff can be a game-changer for your charity, allowing you to manage and organise your resources more effectively.
By hiring dedicated employees to manage daily operations and administrative tasks, your organisation can take on more ambitious projects, expand its reach, and better serve your communities.
Paid staff also bring fresh perspectives and specialised skills, enhancing your strategies and overall effectiveness while easing the burden on individual leaders.
Investing in staff is about more than just getting help – it’s about strategically positioning your organisation to achieve greater impact and sustainability in your advocacy work.
Why attend the webinar?
Beacon recognises that the process of preparing to recruit can be daunting. We are hosting this webinar to demystify the recruitment process, so you can lay the essential groundwork required to begin growing your charity.
What will we cover?
