Your journey in becoming a Panel Member

Step 1 - Submit your application

Applications are now open! You will find the application form here and we recommend reading the guidance before you start your application form.   

Once you've applied, our local teams will review your application and if you are selected, you will be invited to an interview.  

Step 2 – Becoming a Trainee Panel Member

We want to make sure that all of our Panel Members are equipped with the skills and knowledge to fulfil this important role and as a trainee you will be expected to commit to a period of comprehensive learning.

Our Pre-Service learning programme is delivered by the CHS Learning Academy. The programme consists of 7 days training, with an additional 6 hours (approx.) independent learning per training day. The learning will take place between January – April 2025 and you will be given a variety of options for engagement to accommodate personal schedules/preferences.

Once you are appointed as a Panel Member there is an expected commitment to maintain your skills and ongoing learning and development. We will support you to do this through the delivery of e-learning courses and local learning and development sessions. These sessions are normally held in the evenings or at the weekends, or through our online portal.

Step 3 - Your role as a Panel Member

Hearings take place during the week, in daytime hours. You'll normally attend either a morning or an afternoon session, twice a month. You have a right to take reasonable time off work to sit on Hearings. We'll provide you with all the support and ongoing training you need.

Ready, set, go!

You'll need between 30-60 minutes to complete the application form.
