They are the first point of contact for all beneficiaries into the regional office.

To help you establish yourself in this new post you will receive excellent training and induction to the Scottish Regional Office. You will work closely with the Regional Casework Managers and Regional Operations Manager.

The post is home-based, but to be eligible for this role you are required to live in Scotland.  You may have to travel occasionally around Scotland or elsewhere in the UK; expenses will be paid. You must have a fast, stable broadband connection in your proposed workspace. 

About the team
