There have been a number of fundraising campaigns, including a £1m urgent capital appeal after the Second World War and a £1.4m campaign to fund the Vale ‘student village’ in the 1960s. In 2015 we closed the Circles of Influence Campaign, raising £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London.

Are you ready to make a real difference in people's lives by providing specialist debt, benefit, and money advice?

This is an exciting opportunity to join Poppyscotland/RBL to help deliver a new Scotland wide service offering benefits, debt and money advice to Scotland’s Armed Forces community.
As a Benefits Adviser, you’ll provide expert advice and representation to beneficiaries on a wide range of welfare benefit issues. Your role will involve supporting individuals through income maximisation, mandatory reconsiderations, and appeals, including representation at tribunal hearings.

What You’ll Do:

- Provide expert advice on welfare benefits, including entitlements, claims, and complex cases like Student Finance and Armed Forces Pensions.
- Support with overpayments, late claims, and backdating, ensuring beneficiaries understand their rights.
- Advocate for beneficiaries with DWP, SSS, Local Authorities, and HMRC, challenging decisions and securing evidence.
- Prepare and represent cases at First-Tier Tribunals, including overpayments and appeals.
- Assess case strengths, potential outcomes, and legal implications, adapting strategies as needed.
- Stay up to date with legislation, case law, and best practices, ensuring accurate advice and representation.
- Escalate cases when necessary, including Upper Tribunal appeals, judicial reviews, and Ombudsman referrals.

Poppyscotland offers a holistic Benefits & Debt Advice Service, with the expectation that the successful candidate will develop knowledge, skills & experience in debt advice (full training and supervision provided) to be able to support clients in both areas of support.

The role is homebased with occasional travel required throughout Scotland. This includes travel to home visits and tribunal locations. In addition, travel to team meetings and training, usually in Edinburgh, is required. You may also be required to attend national BDMA Service annual events held across the UK. We do cover travel expenses.

- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, case management systems, and other relevant software.
- Experience handling complex benefit calculations and successfully challenging benefit decisions.

Why join us?
Our self-funded service operates without external constraints, ensuring long-term support. The service is not target driven and instead takes a holistic approach, working alongside other teams to address wider issues like homelessness and complex needs.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
