We are ideally looking for a full-time person (35 hours per week) although we are very open to part-time requests and applicants looking for a compressed working week or other flexible working arrangements.  

Depending on your preference, we are happy for the role to be office-based, hybrid or fully remote.  We have 6 offices across North and West Kent but are very happy to consider applications from candidates living anywhere in the UK.

About Citizens Advice in North and West Kent (CANWK):

CANWK is an independent charity affiliated to national Citizens Advice, supporting a population of over 650,000 people across Dartford, Gravesham, Sevenoaks, Swanley, Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells districts in Kent.  We are a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation, working proactively to deliver a wide range of high-quality advice services across the area to give people the knowledge and confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are and whatever their problem.

You will also lead on a range of existing secured grants and undertake grant management and funder stewardship to ensure we maintain excellent funder relations and secure opportunities for repeat funding. 

As an organisation wholly reliant on charitable donations, you will play a vital role in keeping the charity financially sustainable through these most challenging times for both us and our clients.  With demand for our advice higher than ever, you will be able to see a clear correlation between your work and the positive impacts for our clients.
