Maintaining accurate records and ensuring safeguarding and compliance standards are met

What We’re Looking For

*

Experience within welfare benefits, DWP, welfare rights, or advice services

*

Knowledge of PIP, Universal Credit, and related systems

*

Strong communication and people skills

*

A calm, empathetic, and solution-focused approach

*

Experience supporting vulnerable individuals

*

Ability to motivate and guide volunteers or teams

*

Organised, proactive, and confident working independently

Why Apply?

Meaningful, purpose-driven work
