Resilience Interview
Our work at Beat involves supporting vulnerable people who may be in distress, and all staff are likely to come across potentially upsetting content. This can be difficult for staff at times and for some it can have a negative impact on their health and wellbeing.
In order to best protect our team, and ensure all staff are able to thrive at Beat, we conduct a resilience interview as part of the recruitment process. This will help to ensure that applicants understand the pressures of the role and are able to meet them, and that we are aware of the support they may need from Beat to do so.
If you are successful at the first stage of interview you will be invited to a second stage interview, which will include a resilience interview. This will also take place during the week commencing 19th September.
