An opportunity to work within our innovative & busy city-wide Prevention of Homelessness Team providing dedicated services to those at risk of homelessness and members of the Community Food Larders and Food Pantry’s in Glasgow as part of our Routes from Poverty Project. We have initial funding for one year for this post but hope to secure future funding.

The Welfare Rights Officer, reporting to the Service Manager, will provide a full benefits service in terms of supporting the client to access their benefit entitlement and will provide assistance with appeals and tribunal services representation to the highest level. The welfare rights officer will also deal with complex welfare benefits issues on behalf of the service users. Ability to manage a full & comprehensive caseload in a busy environment is essential

The post involves blended working; with a combination of working remotely from home and office-based casework and outreach work with our partners.

Based in Govan Law Centre with outreach throughout Glasgow.
