About Us  

First Love Foundation, a Christian charity, was founded 10 years ago with a desire to see the transformation of society through the pursuit of justice, dignity, and equality for all members of the society. Our vision is for Britain without poverty and our work is underpinned by the belief that no one regardless of faith, ethnicity, socio-economic background, or any other factor should live in poverty or go through this type of crisis alone. 

Based in the east end of London, First Love Foundation works with families and individuals experiencing crisis i.e. ‘income-shocks’ ranging from incorrect denial (or suspension of) welfare support, serious ill health, debt, homelessness, right through to domestic violence, trapping them in a continuous cycle of poverty.

We respond to poverty and crisis through the delivery of our highly regarded solutions-oriented Enabling Lives Programme. The programme provides instant access to high-quality support and advice at the point of crisis. 

Our mission is ‘to empower people to create their own independent lives by working alongside them with love”. This mission and our theory of change have been carefully developed over many years on the front line, helping people in crisis and learning what it takes for people to break the cycle of poverty. 

With projects already in the pipeline that will serve to help even more families and individuals make the journey out of their crisis, we have scope for scale which needs to be supported internally by strong management of crucial areas of the charity’s operations.

The Welfare Rights Advisor will also provide welfare rights advice to Project Workers and volunteers within the team to enable them to progress client cases from initial consultation to completion. 

Essential to this role is the use of the Salesforce CRM System to track all client casework, relationships with referral agencies, the monitoring and evaluation of our services and reporting for the trustee board, external partners, and funders of our work.

The ideal candidate is an experienced welfare rights practitioner with a proven track record of achieving meaningful outcomes for clients experiencing challenges in accessing their full benefits entitlements. Tenacious and well organized, you can manage a busy caseload and enjoy facilitating the smooth running of this new service.
