Could you work for the HGI?
We are currently looking for lay people (non-HGI members) to sit on the HGI's External Oversight Committee (EOC). This committee is an important check and balance for HGI members and the general public in the event of anyone having concerns about anything the HGI has undertaken. There is an annual retainer fee of £250 for attending meetings, with £20 an hour paid for any specific work carried out. If you, or someone you know, might be interested please email Sue Gray at [email protected] .
Peer Group Representative Board Member needed
The HGI also has a vacancy for a registered HG therapist as a Peer Group Representative (the role is shared between two board members). If you would like to know more or are interested in applying, please contact Sue Gray [email protected] for further information.
