Trainee Adviser / Supervisor

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our organisation and make a real difference in the community. This is an opportunity to join an established charity that has an excellent reputation for the provision of high-quality advice and is a great place to work. Our Adviser / Supervisor training programme will provide you with skills, knowledge and experience, as well as a career opportunity which could lead to professional progression within our service.

The Training Programme is subject to variation depending on prior experience and progress:

Year One - after 8-12 weeks in-house training you will be a trainee generalist adviser, then, building on this learning and working towards accreditation in Generalist Adviser Certificate of Competence you will have the opportunity to experience different advice roles - generalist, debt, welfare benefits - and observe advice session supervision.

Year Two - dependent on progress, aptitude, and organisational need could be spent giving a blend of advice and supervision, working as a generalist adviser or specialist on one of our projects whilst training to be an Advice Session Supervisor.

For those who may already be certified as a competent generalist adviser, the training programme can be adapted to reflect prior learning and competence.
