Information about GMAVSG

Greater Manchester Asbestos Victims Support Group (GMAVSG) is a registered charity, established by the Greater Manchester Hazards Centre (GMHC) in 1994. You will be doing GMAVSG work but you will be employed by GMHC.  GMHC provides information, advice and campaigning on health and safety at work. 

The GMAVSG office is in Manchester; all staff work mainly from home, but must be able to do home visits to clients, mostly in Greater Manchester.  GMAVSG provides comprehensive free advice on benefits, and basic information on compensation, to people with asbestos diseases.  Our help is free.  Most of our clients have mesothelioma, a terminal cancer and are men in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who were exposed to asbestos at work.  We also campaign on issues affecting asbestos victims. GMAVSG runs two support groups: Families Group for people who have lost a loved one to asbestos disease, Living Well for people with mesothelioma and their families/carers.

GMAVSG Job

The job offers the prospect of doing interesting and worthwhile work, including campaigning, with a particular client group, who benefit greatly from our specialist advice and empathetic support.  It is not just ‘conveyor belt’ advice work.

You will be delivering benefits advice to people mainly through home visits in Greater Manchester and some of the neighbouring areas of Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire. Full driving licence and access to a car are essential.  The work includes covering a phone helpline on a rota basis, the main purpose of which is to ensure that visits are promptly offered to people newly diagnosed with an asbestos disease.

Recent experience of welfare rights / benefits advice is essential, as are good ICT and administration skills.  Training will be given on compensation and industrial injuries benefits for people with asbestos diseases.

A pay rise is due from April 2026 as salaries are normally uprated annually at least in line with inflation.

The post is permanent, and the charity is financially secure for the foreseeable future.
