Officers Yorkshire and District

Joint Association Secretary and Joint Membership Officer
Kirsty Brooksmith

Joint Association Secretary and Joint Membership Officer

Kirsty has been working in the Revenues and Benefits world for over 30 years and is currently working at Hammersmith & Fulham Council as Head of Benefits.  This role also includes responsibility for the Borough's Blue Badge Scheme, Freedom Passes, Taxi Cards and their Local Support Service.

Kirsty began her career back in 1988 at Scarborough Borough Council as a Housing Benefits Officer, where she first joined the IRRV and gained her IRRV Technician qualification.

She moved south in 1992 and after a short stint at Wandsworth Borough Council, joined Reading Borough Council as a Customer Service Advisor.  She worked at Reading for 18 years, becoming the Head of Revenues and Benefits for the latter 8 years.  The service was re-organised many times where she took on services such as Corporate Debt, a Cash and Post Office, as well as Residential Care and Non-Residential Charging Assessments.

In December 2018 Kirsty decided on a change and moved to London to become the Head of Benefits for Hammersmith and Fulham.  When the pandemic hit, like many others she was fortunate to be given the chance to work from home on a permanent basis.  As Kirsty is a proud Northern lass, she decided it was time to move back to Yorkshire and moved back to Scarborough with her husband George in July 2022.

Kirsty was an active member of the Thames Valley Executive for over 10 years, and was their President in 2017.  Being based in the North she thought it was the right thing to do to join the Yorkshire & District Association Executive.

When not at work Kirsty enjoys spending time with her family and friends and walking her two border terriers, Flash and Pickles.  She is also known to partake in a drink or two with our other IRRV Executive Members across the country.
