Dear Ministry of Social Development,

On behalf of the Minister for Social Development and Employment, the Ministry of Social Development is seeking community focused people for the role of Community Representative on the local Benefits Review Committee. These positions cover throughout the Auckland Region.
The Benefits Review Committee provides an informal setting for clients to review decisions made by the Ministry of Social Development about their benefit entitlement.
As a Community Representative, you will provide a community perspective to the Benefits Review Committee's decision-making process. You will be required to read benefit review reports, attend hearings arranged for the client and the Ministry, and consider decisions on a case by case basis. Hearings are scheduled to be held 4 to 6 weekly, however as there is a pool of Community Representatives in each region, individual Community Representatives may not be required to sit on every hearing. In this role, you will need to be able to relate to a range of people within the wider community, have good community experience and knowledge, and respect the views, beliefs and cultural perspectives of others.
This is a Ministerial appointment. Names of successful candidates will be forwarded for consideration by the Minister for Social Development and Employment.

Also, how many applications you have received from the public and how many you have received from other nominating agencies such as TPK. Further, how many position available that you are intend to appoint.
