Background Information

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team of paid and volunteer staff to further develop our advice service provision. Clackmannanshire Citizens Advice Bureau, based in Alloa, is an independent and innovative advice organisation providing holistic advice to the residents of Clackmannanshire across 7 locations in the county. We currently have 28 paid members of staff and 14 volunteers who provide a wide range of services, across our projects.

We have been delivering a valuable, high-level service to the community of Clackmannanshire for over 50 years. We have accreditation in Type III advice by Scottish National Standards for advice providers (SNSIAP) in the areas of Housing, Energy, Debt and Benefits.

All bureaux are members of Citizens Advice Scotland (the Scottish Association of CABx), and as such must meet specific conditions of membership related to standards of service and other matters.

About the role

The Thrive Early Family Adviser role combines elements of a Generalist Adviser and Caseworker, delivering seamless, holistic support to families in close partnership with Home-Start colleagues and other project partners.

The role focuses on building trusted relationships with families who may be experiencing significant barriers to engaging with advice services. Many families supported through Thrive Early may not feel ready or able to access traditional advice channels. As a result, establishing trust, confidence, and sustained engagement is a critical part of the role.

Family Advisers work with families over the medium to long term, providing tailored advice, advocacy, and practical support to help them move towards greater financial security and wellbeing.

The postholder will also work collaboratively with Save the Children UK to support family participation activities and ensure that lived experience informs service improvement and project learning.

We offer additional working benefits, such as annual performance related salary increases, 5% employer’s pension contribution plan, free membership of an employer health plan, free use of company e-bikes and a retail perks scheme. Holiday entitlement for full year is 39 days pro rata leave including public holidays, with the ability to buy and sell annual leave. Flexible working scheme including some flexible start and finish times.

Forth Valley Inclusion is a Charity established in 2013 by representatives of the churches and other faith communities in the Stirling area.

Support is provided by staff and trained volunteers to ensure experiences of prison visiting are less stressful and more positive thereby encouraging more frequent visits and maintaining family ties in order to reduce re-offending, increase the stability of children's lives and achieve positive long-term outcomes for all of the family.

The Centres are funded through a grant from the Scottish Government enabling the employment of a small staff team and has successfully secured additional funding, including Lottery funding to support its services over the next 3 years. Staff work alongside volunteers to enable a range of activities and events, encourage family engagement and provide advice and information. The team works closely with the Prison Service staff, make referrals to other agencies as appropriate, undertakes outreach services and supports families to access digital resources.
