Service User Assessors for Service User Led Accreditation Programme
This role involves visiting ELFT services with a team of 2-3 other service users to check how well the team meet standards that our important to service users. You will travel to a service in London or Bedfordshire, take part in a tour of the service and interview staff, service users and carers.
Experienced assessors are offered the opportunity to upskill and train as Lead Assessors who then help guide other assessors through the day, assigning roles and ensuring everything keeps to time.
