At Latin American House (LAH), advice is more than information, it is a lifeline. We aim to support individuals who have nowhere else to turn: migrants navigating an unfamiliar system, families facing welfare challenges, and vulnerable people who simply need someone who speaks their language and understands their reality.

This is your opportunity to begin a meaningful career in the advice sector, fully supported and trained from day one.

About us

LAH is a community-led charity driven by and for Latin Americans in the UK. For decades, we have been supporting Latin American and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants, championing their rights, wellbeing, and inclusion.

Our work takes place across London and at our community centre in Kilburn, North West London.

About the role

This is a part-time, fixed-term role (21 hours per week) and a genuine investment in your professional development.

You will work under close supervision, with the opportunity to achieve the AdviceUK Learning to Advise (LTA) Full Programme certification within your first six months, between September and December 2026.

Day to day, you will support service users with a range of practical needs: interpreting calls, helping with GP registrations, guiding people through form applications, assisting with school enrolment, and providing orientation on accessing government support. As your training progresses, your responsibilities will develop towards more in-depth welfare benefits advice.

This is not an entry-level role that leaves you unsupported. You will be supervised, mentored, and developed throughout, and if you complete your probation successfully, further training and qualification opportunities may follow.

What we are looking for

You will be an advanced Spanish speaker with at least six months of experience working with individuals or communities in a supportive capacity, paid or voluntary. You will bring empathy, patience, and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve, alongside a structured, organised approach and a willingness to learn.
