Disability Qualified Tribunal Members - are you ready for a new challenge?
There has been a change to the vacancy requirements to this exercise. Please note the following:
- that the vacancy in Yorkshire is now for West Yorkshire and not North Yorkshire;
- there is now no longer a vacancy in the Cambridge area.
The list of locations contained at page 14 of the application form has not been amended to reflect this change.
The independent Judicial Appointments Commission is seeking people with knowledge of disability issues to sit as members in the Social Entitlement Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. You do not need to be legally qualified. Instead, you will be experienced in dealing with the physical or mental needs of disabled people, either because you deal with them in a professional or voluntary capacity, or because you are yourself disabled.
In conjunction with the other Tribunal members, you will be deciding appeals by considering facts, applying the relevant law to them and contributing to the provision of a reasoned written judgement by the Tribunal Judge. You will normally be offered a minimum of 15 working days per year.
Number of Vacancies: 34
Location: Various locations in England, Wales and Scotland
Fee: £189 per day (currently under review)
Reference: 00420
Closing date for applications: 15 April 2009
