Why we need you

Members of our Cost of Living team are progressing into advice roles following a successful first year for the project. We’ve also obtained short-term funding to support services that are seeing increased demand due to the cost of living crisis. We’re looking for:

• An Assessor (full-time but open to part-time and flexible working)
• An Advice Supervisor (part-time but open to remote and hybrid working).

Both roles involve working with teams who provide holistic advice about a range of social welfare issues, responding both to immediate need and working to find long-term solutions to poverty.

Why you should join us

We’re a dynamic organisation with a culture of quality and innovation. We’re ambitious about delivering advice services that make a real difference to local people and being a great place to work and volunteer. You’ll be part of a diverse and friendly team of staff and volunteers who are passionate about helping the people who need us most. Working with us means seeing yourself and your colleagues have a positive impact on the lives of ordinary people and protecting our communities from hardship, poverty and crisis.

We also believe that investing in and listening to our teams makes us a better organisation. We involve staff and volunteers extensively in the design and delivery of our services, as well as in long-term planning. You’ll benefit from working at an organisation with a strong commitment to professional development and continuous training. We’re proud of our teams and in return offer excellent opportunities for personal development and career growth – with our support, many of our team have progressed from advice roles to supervision and then management.

What we’re looking for

Our ideal candidates will have previous experience in advice services but as much as anything we need people who share our values and commitment to helping our clients.

For the assessor roles, we want to hear from you if you don’t meet all of the criteria in the person specification but still feel that you’d really like one of these roles. We’re happy to help you develop, learn and fill out any areas where you don’t have all the necessary experience or expertise. We’ll also consider appointing candidates with a strong advice background at a higher pay band (£26,961 - 29,957). This is because there’s some flexibility about how we use the project funding, and the best fit may depend on who applies.

Our commitment to EDI

We’re passionate about promoting equity, valuing diversity and working inclusively. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people but particularly people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups and people with disabilities, as these groups are currently under-represented in our team.
