Community Mental Health Team Adviser

  • Full time
  • £23,785 – £25,476
  • Edinburgh
  • Closing 7th November 2022


  • Advertised from 18th October 2022
  • 35.75 hours per week

Role

Do you enjoy helping people out of difficult situations?

Are you a people person who can advocate on people’s behalf if they are unable to do so?

Would you like to help people get more money and be less stressed?

We are looking for 2 income maximisation advisers who will work directly with people to improve their financial situation. If you have experience of providing benefit and/or money advice then we would love to hear from you.

These posts are based within our Advice and Employability Team in Edinburgh and are part of the wider income maximisation service funded by the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board. We are a supportive team of people who really care about uplifting our communities and helping individuals and families thrive.

At present most of these services are provided via telephone appointments from home but some services may start to be operating face to face advice soon. We will continue to work in a blended manner i.e., a mixture of working from home, outreach locations and from our offices all in a safe and socially distanced manner.

CHAI offers the following exceptional benefits:

  • Flexible working
  • Access to health plan
  • 32 days of annual leave + public holidays
  • Enrolment to a pension scheme

Chai works closely with Edinburgh’s Community Mental Health Teams to ensure people using this service have the right support to ensure their income is maximised and they have a solution for any debt issues. This is a great opportunity for someone who can develop good working relations with other professions and enjoys problem solving for people. This post will also include providing advice for some of our other Edinburgh Integrated Joint board services based in South East Edinburgh.

Again, ideally, we would like someone who has work experience or knowledge of working within mental health services or support services. Experience of providing benefits and debt advice would greatly help but suitable transferable skills and a quick learning aptitude will also be considered.
