Job description
Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice have partnered with Chichester District Foodbank to deliver an advice service to people accessing emergency food provisions.
This post will focus on income maximisation, including benefit checks, budgeting and debt management but will also include topics such as housing and employment, as well as assisting with benefit appeals and accessing grants. The service aims to reduce reliance on emergency support and seeks to improve longer-term financial capability skills.
You will be a highly motivated strong team player with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills. You will have the ability to understand written and oral information of some complexity; have good numeracy skills sufficient to compile accurate financial statements and calculate benefits; and, have effective oral and written communication skills for the purposes of negotiation and reporting.
You’ll undertake aspects of advice and casework and provide an appropriate level of support based on the client’s capability.
The service must be delivered during the Foodbank opening times. Subsequent client contact may be at the local Citizens Advice office or undertaken remotely. Home working is possible for casework.
