Are you an experienced Money or Welfare rights advisor – we want to hear from you! …
This is an exciting opportunity to work within our Financial Wellbeing Team as part of our Money, debt, benefits and Energy advice delivery, supporting our additional services across the charity.
Our Financial Wellbeing service works alongside families to address the challenges and risks which may have led to vulnerability, promote connection to their local communities, and improve financial stability and resilience. Our aim is to support communities to become more resilient and a place where children feel safe, valued, understood and supported.
The Financial Wellbeing Advisor will work across East regions offering support, community connection, and expert benefit, energy and debt advice. This will enable families to resolve debt and money problems, become more financially resilient and break the cycle of poverty.
A priority for the financial wellbeing advisor will be to increase the capacity of our current service to provide Type I and II Financial wellbeing in one of the most deprived areas in Scotland.
You will work as part of our National Financial wellbeing team offering remote advice to families across Scotland by telephone or webchat. You will support families within their homes, deliver workshops within the community and in schools, and offer drop-in sessions within the community.
If you have experience of delivering money, and debt advice, understand the impact trauma and adversity can have on children and families, and believe that you can apply this to your practice, we want to hear from you.
