• Generalist Money Adviser - CA 1066

        • The aim of this role is to provide general advice to people who are experiencing financial difficulties which are affecting their mental well-being.

          The role will involve providing advice directly and also signposting to other specialists or sources of support where appropriate. It will involve regular contact with key stakeholders from organisations who work with people experiencing mental health difficulties.

          This role will offer a “financial health check” by advising on income maximisation, benefit entitlement and advice on budgeting money management.

          Advice on dealing with debts is also a priority and this post will work closely with our specialist money advisers, making referrals where necessary.
