The IHBC writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the initial appointment of regional IHBC \u2018Branch Consultants\u2019 in 2024, to support our local volunteer Branches and networks, the IHBC is keen to extend the programme by diversifying our support network and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IHBC Branch Consultants are responsible for supporting communication networks and sustaining resilient relationships across IHBC Branches, their networks and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically each Branch Consultant agrees to work with selected IHBC Branches and their Committees, with an 0.5 average weekly time commitment in total, treated flexibly across a year.  Most services will be carried out online, but attendance and networking at in-person events is also encouraged, with expenses paid, all by agreement and typically in a voluntary capacity due to personal and CPD benefits.  The role also may include an offer of a free residential place at the IHBC\u2019s Annual Schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL APPOINTMENTS AND DETAILED JOB DESCRIPTIONS ARE DETERMINED BY IHBC NATIONAL OFFICE SUPPORT PRIORITIES FOR BRANCHES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by the IHBC\u2019s staff and other consultants, your primary task will be to facilitate voluntary IHBC and partnership activities by adding capacity, skills and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
