Our Values:
As a local team in Whitehawk, and part of the Trussell Trust, we operate with a rich foundation of
commitments to working in a particular way.
St Cuthman’s, Whitehawk
We have established three strategic values for our next season of work together — two which express the
strengths we already have (joy and togetherness), leveraging them gladly to further our goals; and one
which we are sharpening our focus on (time) in order to make the progress we need.
Joy — Joy is a superpower, forged in perseverance, giving resilience, creating unity, keeping our eyes on
the prize and the good news of progress towards it. Joy brings courage, focus and strength. We practice
gratitude at regular opportunities and celebrate small and big wins — even in the midst of discouragement
and moments that feel like failure.
Togetherness — We understand the importance of team, diversity and positivity in order for each team
member to thrive and achieve their goals, and in order to reach our shared vision. Togetherness isn’t simply
a nice experience along the way to our victories; it is how we achieve them.
Time — our work is urgent, complicated, and full of challenge. Time can often feel against us. We are
learning to make time for what matters. This means growing in focus, boundaries, courage and kind
communication; and it results in feeling more energised, clearer-minded and greater impact.
The Trussell Trust
The Trussell Trust is a charity that works to end the need for food banks. It is founded on and shaped by
Christian principles.
Our values of dignity, justice, compassion and community, are central to all that we do and therefore
supports our aim to be an organisation where the diversity of all employees is valued. We welcome people
of all faiths and none and those that are committed to these values.
We recognise that we have under-represented groups within our workforce. As part of our commitment to
diversity and equality of opportunity we are actively encouraging applications from under-represented
groups such as returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people who are
LGBT+, from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, with a disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, with caring responsibilities, from different nations and regions and those
with a lived experience of poverty as well as any other under-represented group in our workforce. We are
committed to ensuring the safety and protection of our employees from all forms of harm.

Hours: 28 hours per week (available as 1 post of 28hpw/0.8fte or 2 posts of 14hpw/0.4fte each)
Salary: £27,456 - £32,484 fte pa depending on experience
Start Date: From mid-June (possible earlier start subject to agreement and pre-employment checks)
Contract Type: Fixed term cover until mid June 2025. Extension may be possible subject to funding.

About Citizens Advice Camden
We are a well-respected local charity with more than 80 years’ experience of delivering free, independent and impartial information, advice and casework services which meet the changing needs of local residents. Our aims are to provide the independent, impartial, confidential and free advice people need for the problems they face and to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.
We target our services at the most vulnerable in our community. Our client profile closely matches local indices of deprivation with most of our clients coming from the most deprived wards in the borough. We identify trends to ensure our services remain agile and able to respond to changing and emerging advice needs.
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a well-regarded and innovative project contributing to achieving good outcomes for some of the most vulnerable families in England and beyond whose sick children are being treated at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital (GOSH.) We also provide an ‘open door’ service to our GOSH partners such as social workers and family support officers in our areas of expertise.
We offer this as either a Trainee Adviser or Adviser role depending on your current advice work experience. As this is a short-term contract, if you are not currently an experienced generalist adviser, we would still expect you to have some experience of delivering generalist advice. We will support you through the Citizens Advice adviser training programme whilst you build your skills to deliver high quality advice and casework to families with children who are patients at GOSH. We will train you to deliver holistic advice and in-depth casework support, particularly with benefits including appeals and also with housing and debt enquiries.
Being available onsite is an important aspect of this role and so this role is hybrid working. The exact split between remote/onsite working will be by agreement with the line manager and to meet the needs of the project which could change over time. This role is not suitable for remote working only.
Appointment to the role is subject to being granted GOSH honorary staff status and a satisfactory enhanced DBS.

By joining our agricultural advice team, you’ll be on the front line, helping farmers, landowners and growers to support nature’s recovery whilst enabling them to continue growing high quality food. You will be making a unique contribution to an incredible mission. People are at the heart of everything we do as an organisation, and with farmland covering 70% of Warwickshire it’s critical we support farmers, landowners and growers to make space for nature and take action for wildlife. As an Agricultural Adviser at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, you will work alongside colleagues in the team to help inspire and support farmers across the area. You will work closely with our Warwickshire Farm Cluster Groups and the partners we work with to provide advice and guidance to farmers. Helping them to integrate nature into their business, apply for the Government’s new agricultural grants, and support them to transition to a more nature friendly way of farming.
