Recruitment Process

After submitting our completed application form, applicants will be invited to visit for a few days to get to know us (as soon as possible).  If desirable on both sides a longer stay of a couple of weeks will then be arranged before applicants are short listed.  The community will then make a decision and the successful applicant will be invited to join us on a 3 month trial period which will be reviewed and if successful will lead to a permanent residency in the community.   

There are often many good applicants and only one can be selected but unsuccessful applicants often continue a relationship with Braziers by joining volunteer days, weekends and events.
