Job description

The Advice Service is dedicated to enhancing income, alleviating poverty, and ensuring secure housing for community members throughout London. Our goal is to empower individuals by facilitating access to appropriate support through a strength-based and person-centered approach. We offer accredited information and advice on welfare benefits and housing, as well as assistance in obtaining grants.

As an integral part of the London Irish Centre's Community services, the Advice Service collaborates with our Support Service, Legal Advocate (benefit appeals), Community Programmes (responsible for events and activities), and our specialized Survivor Integrated Service. Together, we strive to deliver community-led and best-practice support.

We are seeking an experienced, compassionate and knowledgeable Advice Worker to join our committed team. The successful candidate will bring expertise in welfare rights and housing, and a strong commitment to supporting those facing financial hardship or insecure living conditions. In this role, you will work directly with clients to deliver accredited advice and practical guidance, helping them navigate complex systems and secure the support they need. You will also collaborate with colleagues across the organisation to ensure a holistic and integrated service that puts community needs first.

 About You

  • You have solid experience advising on welfare benefits and housing law, including issues like homelessness, entitlement, and disability benefits.
  • You use a strength-based, person-centred approach to empower clients and achieve positive outcomes.
  • You’re confident advocating for clients with agencies such as the DWP and local authorities, both in writing and verbally.
  • You’re highly organised, able to manage competing demands, and proficient in using case management and information systems.

· Support service delivery via telephone, drop-in, and pre-booked appointments, including staffing the response line as needed.

· Advocate on behalf of clients with third parties, including the Department for Work and Pensions and local authorities, by letter, telephone, email, and in-person.

· Contribute to multi-disciplinary service provision, build excellent working relationships, and establish referral pathways to achieve the best outcomes for clients.

· Maintain excellent knowledge of benefits, housing law, grants, as well as changes in law, practice, and supporting services.

· Work collaboratively with internal teams and services.

· Attend any outreach including social groups as required.

· Ensure safeguarding measures for vulnerable adults and children, as well as the health and safety of staff, volunteers, and clients, are followed in line with established processes.

· Comply with LIC policies and procedures, including those relating to confidentiality, data protection, equality, and diversity.

· Participate in meetings and commit to personal learning and professional development.

· Carry out any other reasonable duties as directed by management.
