Citizens Advice is a long-established and trusted brand across the country that is known for helping and making a difference to those in need of support. Across England and Wales, the Citizens Advice service comprises Citizens Advice – the national charity with 6 national offices, and a network of approximately 300 independent, local Citizens Advice services that offer direct support to people in their areas. 

The Citizens Advice service is independent and provides free, confidential, and impartial advice to everybody. All local Citizens Advice services share the same aims - to ensure that individuals do not suffer through lack of knowledge of their rights and responsibilities or the service available to them or through an inability to express their needs effectively. 

Formed in 1992, Citizens Advice St Helens was an amalgamation of Newton-le-Willows Citizens Advice Bureau and St Helens Citizens Advice Bureau. Aligned to the nationwide model, Citizens Advice St Helens provides free, independent, confidential, and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities.  It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. Providing advice that people need for the problems they face, CASH also influences and improves the policies and practices that affect people’s lives in their local area. Their confidential, independent, and free advice is available across a wide range of topics including debt, benefits, housing, employment, consumerism, travel, education, health, and taxes.

The Role: 

The Chief Officer will lead and manage Citizens Advice St Helens (CASH) while developing and implementing strategic and operational plans. Responsible for delivering strategic development through the effective management and development of services, the Chief Officer will build strong and sustainable relationships with key stakeholders at a strategic, national, regional, and local level. 

They will work collaboratively with the staff team and board to ensure there is an inclusive, rights-based approach to work that also conforms with the requirements of the Charity Commission, Companies House and HMRC. The Chief Officer is responsible for the economic viability, financial welfare, and sustainability of the charity, as well as driving and nurturing the staff team to continue delivering quality standards across the organisation. 

To be considered for the Chief Officer role at CASH, you must be a proven leader and manager with experience working within a senior management team. This role will require someone with a demonstrable track record of innovation and success in business development and income generation, able to engage funding bodies and donors, as well as creating strong and successful content for winning contracts/grants. Your experience will be underpinned by excellent communication skills at both a strategic level within and outside the organisation, coupled with excellent resourcing methods. 

In a senior leadership role, it's typical to hold budgetary responsibility and possess broad financial management experience. Considering the nature of Citizens Advice St Helens' work, we expect you to have a comprehensive understanding of the advice sector and experience with equity, diversity, and inclusion best practices. Additionally, you must demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the issues faced by residents in St Helens, such as poverty, unemployment, and health challenges. These issues are not unique to St Helens but are encountered across the UK, and we welcome applications from individuals with experience addressing similar issues in other regions.

If you believe you can drive positive change and have a successful track record of working with a Board of Trustees, we would love to hear from you about how you would contribute to the success of Citizens Advice St Helens and the quality of advice it provides for its local people.
