Community Outreach Adviser
We are looking for a passionate and motivated Community Outreach Adviser to deliver holistic advice and support within local communities, with a particular focus on improving financial resilience.
In this rewarding role, you will work directly with individuals to help them maximise their income through welfare benefit and grant applications, identify money-saving opportunities, address debt concerns, and access a wide range of support services. No two days will be the same as you provide practical, person-centred advice that helps people improve their financial wellbeing and achieve greater stability.
You will be a confident communicator with a naturally enquiring mind, able to navigate complex advice queries using a range of resources and guidance. Working independently across community settings, you will build trusted relationships with residents, partner organisations, and other stakeholders to ensure people receive the support they need.
