SUMMARY:Hire with impact: recruitment training for rare disease patient groups
DESCRIPTION:Beacon is delighted to announce our next masterclass for rare disease patient groups! This training is specifically for groups who are ready to hire their first paid member of staff or looking to grow their team! \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Why employ paid staff?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Employing staff can have a huge impact on a patient group’s ability to achieve their advocacy goals. By managing administrative and operational tasks\, staff enable groups to undertake ambitious projects and expand their reach\, better serving their community and addressing patient needs. \nThis also eases the burden on individual leaders\, reducing burnout. Moreover\, new staff bring fresh expertise and perspectives\, helping patient groups advocate more effectively and make a greater impact on the lives of those they represent. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Why attend this masterclass?\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Hiring staff is a decision that requires careful consideration. Leaders of rare disease patient groups are often individuals living with the condition or their family members\, meaning their drive for change is deeply personal. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Transitioning to paid staff can be daunting\, as it’s crucial to hire individuals who grasp the personal significance and gravity of the group’s mission. Beacon recognises this challenge and is hosting this masterclass to equip patient groups with the tools they need to find the right person. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n                \n                \n                \n                    \n                \n                \n                \n            \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What does the masterclass cover?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Spread across four interactive virtual sessions\, this comprehensive course will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully navigate the recruitment process. \nThe masterclass will be conducted in a small group setting\, providing ample opportunities for personalised interaction with our expert trainers. \nAttendees will actively participate in creating job materials during the sessions and receive constructive feedback to refine their approach.
