At Release, we believe that expert advice can change lives — especially for people who are pushed to the margins by poverty, stigma, criminalisation and complex legal problems. We are looking for a debt adviser who wants to do more than provide technical advice: someone who shares our commitment to social justice, dignity and practical support, and who wants to be part of a specialist legal team working alongside people at the point they need help most.
This is not a traditional debt adviser role. It is an opportunity to help shape a newly established debt unit within our legal team, creating a holistic service that responds to the full reality of people’s lives rather than treating debt in isolation. You will work alongside legal advisers and solicitors delivering free welfare benefits, debt and housing advice through our outreach services, with referrals coming directly from colleagues supporting clients with overlapping legal and financial problems. You will also provide training and support to colleagues and host centre staff, helping build confidence and understanding around debt, its impact, and how to identify when someone may need specialist advice. Many of the people we work with are facing crisis, exclusion and multiple barriers to support. In this role, you will help ensure they are met with compassion, specialist advice and joined-up support that gives them a clearer route forward.
The new Debt Adviser wil join Release’s multidisciplinary legal services team. The postholder will provide high-quality, non-judgmental debt advice to people experiencing financial hardship alongside issues such as substance use, homelessness, poor mental health, benefit problems and social exclusion. Ideally, you’ll be qualified to Level 3 Certificate in Money and Debt Advice, the Certificate in Money Advice Practice (CertMAP), or the CMA Award in Generalist Debt Advice. Should you not have these or equivalent certifications, the appointee would be required and supported to achieve a certification within an agreed timeframe.
Key Responsibilities:
Deliver specialist debt advice through direct referrals for our legal team who support clients in trusted community and treatment settings.
- Complete financial assessments, income and expenditure work, debt screening, priority-debt triage and casework using clear, accessible and trauma-informed approaches.
- Advise on appropriate debt options, including Breathing Space, Debt Relief Orders, negotiated write-offs, informal and formal repayment arrangements, and referrals where another provider is better placed to help.
- Work closely with legal advisers, drug and alcohol services, keyworkers, peer advocates, volunteers and partner organisations to support warm referrals and coordinated care.
- Record casework accurately on AdvicePro and contribute to monitoring, evaluation, quality assurance, client feedback and learning from the debt advice project.
Essential Requirements:
- At least 12 months’ experience delivering debt advice in a community, advice, legal or outreach setting.
- Strong understanding of UK debt solutions, priority debts, social security, housing-related debt and the impact of financial hardship on people in vulnerable circumstances.
- Ability to provide clear, fair and not misleading advice, based on a full assessment of the client’s financial and personal circumstances.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write accurate case notes, letters and reports in plain English
- Holidays: 29 days + public holidays
- Location: Hybrid - Spitalfields, London / Remote (minimum 3 days in the office)
- Closing Date: Until vacancy filled
- Interviews: Rolling
- Start Date: As soon as possible
An enhanced DBS check will be required for the successful candidate.
We particularly welcome applications from people from Black and racialised communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, people from working-class backgrounds, and people with lived experience of the issues we work on. We are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve, and we know that lived experience and diverse perspectives strengthen our legal practice and our work for systemic change.
Release is committed to equal opportunities.

Help Shape the Future of a Charity Changing Women's Lives
At My Sisters' House Women's Centre, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to live free from abuse, rebuild her confidence, and create a safer future for herself and her family.
For more than 14 years, we have supported women across West Sussex facing domestic abuse, trauma, poor mental health, multiple disadvantage, and complex life challenges. Around 2,000 women turn to us each year at a time of crisis or hardship, and our trauma-informed services provide practical support, advocacy, counselling, wellbeing activities, and pathways to long-term recovery.
We're now looking for an experienced Head of Finance to join our Executive Team and help keep our organisation financially strong, sustainable and ambitious for the women we serve. This is more than a finance role — it's an opportunity to play a key part in an organisation where every decision contributes to improving women's safety, wellbeing and life chances.
The Role
Overseeing an annual budget of circa £1m, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for all aspects of MSH's financial management. Working closely with the CEO, Board of Trustees, Finance Committee and Senior Leadership Team, you will help guide financial decision-making and ensure resources are used effectively to maximise impact.
You will lead the day-to-day finance function, including line management of one part-time Finance Officer, while contributing to the wider strategic development of the charity. This role suits someone comfortable with both the detail and the bigger picture — producing management accounts, overseeing financial controls and audit processes, and contributing to strategic discussions about future services, funding and organisational development.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and managing the charity's finance function.
- Producing accurate and timely management accounts, forecasts and financial reports.
- Supporting the CEO, Finance Committee and Board of Trustees with financial insight and strategic advice.
- Leading budget-setting, monitoring and long-term financial planning.
- Managing cash flow, reserves and financial risk.
- Supporting funding applications, tenders and grant reporting with robust financial modelling.
- Ensuring effective financial controls, systems, policies and compliance arrangements are in place.
- Leading the annual audit process and preparation of statutory accounts.
- Overseeing payroll and pension processes.
- Supporting budget holders to understand and manage their budgets confidently.
- Identifying opportunities for efficiencies, improvement and sustainable growth.
What You'll Bring
- Significant experience in a senior finance role within the charity, public or not-for-profit sector, or a comparable environment.
- A professional finance qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or ACA, or qualified by experience with equivalent demonstrable financial management ability.
- Strong expertise in management accounting, budgeting, forecasting, financial controls and reporting.
- Experience working with auditors, trustees and senior stakeholders.
- The ability to translate financial information into clear, practical advice for non-finance colleagues.
- Excellent analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
- Experience leading and developing finance systems and processes.
- Most importantly, a belief in the power of specialist women's services and motivation to make a difference through your work.
What's on Offer
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
- A supportive and inclusive workplace culture.
- 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays (pro rata).
- Employer pension contribution of 3%.
- Employee Assistance Programme.
- The opportunity to influence key strategic decisions.
- A meaningful role where your expertise directly contributes to saving lives.
- Ongoing professional development opportunities.
- The chance to be part of a respected charity with strong local partnerships and a growing reputation for innovation and excellence.

About the PVRI
We’re a small charity with a global reach and an important purpose: to reduce the burden of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) with a particular focus on pulmonary hypertension (PH) - a serious condition that can lead to heart damage and trigger symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, fatigue, poor growth, fainting, and light-headedness. PH can reduce both quality of life and length of life, but it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood.
We aim to improve clinical care, education, and PVD research. To do this, we bring together an international network of thousands of clinicians, scientists, academics, and industry partners supported by our small team based in Bermondsey, London. Together, we deliver conferences, e-learning, and an academic journal, raise awareness of PVD, and encourage collaboration in research.
About the role
We are seeking a Marketing & Events Officer to help the charity achieve its mission by growing its international profile, driving membership, increasing engagement and income through delivering great marketing, webinars and event communications.
PVRI's events are delivered collaboratively across the charity, and this role acts as the key coordination point for event communications, delegate engagement and webinar delivery. No two days are the same. One day, you might be writing content for our website, emails, newsletters, or social media channels, and the next, you might be welcoming respected speakers and attendees to one of our international scientific webinars.
A key part of the role is supporting marketing and comms for our face-to-face events and working with the team to provide on-site support. These include our annual global scientific congress (often held towards the end of January in a different city around the world) and our biennial symposia (which usually take place in June, usually in the USA or Europe).
Our staff team are not scientists or medical experts – but we are skilled at warmly facilitating and uniting the global scientific and medical expert community. We are seeking someone who has excellent communication and organisational skills, is comfortable with complex medical terminology, genuinely cares about our mission, and will bring energy, skills and commitment to this exciting role.
If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to hear from you!
What we can offer
We offer a 35-hour working week and flexible working, a positive learning culture, international travel, and opportunities for you to learn and grow in your role. And for those who prefer hybrid working, we’re based in a vibrant, sociable office space close to London Bridge and Borough Market.
PVRI celebrates diversity and is committed to equality and inclusion in our recruitment practices and ways of working. If you’re excited about our mission and can bring talent and enthusiasm to our cause, we’d love to hear from you.
How to apply
To apply for the role, please send us your CV and a supporting statement (max 850 words) outlining what you could bring to the role and referencing the person specification. Please send these, together with the Equalities Monitoring Form, to Katie Corris by 09:00 on Monday, 07 September.
