At Age UK Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, our Advice team is here to make life easier for older and vulnerable people by helping them to get the financial support they are entitled to. From welfare benefit checks to supporting claims and challenging unfair decisions, we ensure people across our communities don’t miss out on what they need to live well.

- Helping people maximise their income through benefits checks and advice
- Supporting people to complete benefit applications and, where necessary, challenge decisions

What we’re looking for:
- Someone with experience in welfare benefits or advice services (training provided to build on what you know)
- Great attention to detail, organisation and communication skills
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
- Flexibility to meet the changing needs of the service
