Their role will be to work alongside the current Independent Reviewer, Velia Soames, to provide an independent review mechanism for decisions taken on individual cases, primarily in relation to the outcomes of the assessment of reports to the BSB of potential professional misconduct and subsequent decisions on whether to pursue enforcement or supervisory action following a formal investigation.

Candidates should provide a covering letter outlining how they meet the competencies as set out in the role description, together with a CV, supporting details form and equality and diversity monitoring form (optional).
