WELCOME FROM OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICER, RYAN BEASLEY
I wanted to start by saying thank you for expressing an interest in BELMAS; we are delighted to present this opportunity to you and showcase why BELMAS is an incredible place to work.
We have been on a significant journey over the last 18 months that has seen us adopt a new Strategic Plan (what we do, and how we’re going to do it), change our legal status (from a charitable company to a charitable incorporated organisation) and bring in a host of new policies that aim to be supportive and rewarding for our members and our employees… We even give you an additional day off for your child’s first day at school!

In September 2022, we moved our employees to permanent remote working. This doesn’t suit everyone, but we provide substantial support and benefits to ensure we get the very best out of you. Please do read up on all of our employee benefits for details.
There are skills and experiences in this recruitment pack that we clearly ask for, but if you do not meet all of the criteria, please do not be put off from applying. What is important to us, and to me personally, is that we recruit good people who are keen to learn, develop and be part of a small team that supports each other.
I also want to use this opportunity to be honest about our challenges as an organisation, with my golden rule being “no surprises”. As we move through change and our Strategic Plan, there will be times when we have to try new things and jump in with two feet, with positivity, hope and as much supportive evidence as possible. Sometimes these things work, and other times they don’t – and that’s OK! At BELMAS we believe that with drive and creativity there should be room for error providing we learn from our mistakes and we all learn together; it’s the scholarship value engrained in the organisation.
BELMAS can also be a very busy place to work, particularly in June and the beginning of July for our Annual Conference, which was held in Belfast this year. We get through these times by working together, and there is largely a culture and expectation for everyone to “muck in” and support others To be successful here, you need to be a team player.
If this sounds like a bit of you, then we would love to hear from you. Everything you need to know is in this pack, but of course, if you do have any further questions, please contact me directly on ryan@belmas.org.uk . Hopefully we will speak to you very soon!
