We want people who are passionate about giving an effective advice service in the community to local residents.

You will have experience providing generalist advice across a range of enquiry areas and building effective relationships within communities and local organisations. You’ll help promote and develop this new service, contributing to its long-term success.

What you’ll need:

  • Empathy, compassion and a commitment to making a difference

  • Strong written, verbal and numeracy skills

  • Excellent attention to detail and time management skills

  • The ability to communicate clearly and manage competing priorities

  • Experience providing generalist advice

  • Confidence working with vulnerable clients and community partners

We’ll provide extensive training and development to help you deliver first-class advice that really matters.

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
