Debt Advice Caseworker (Ex-Offender Support)
Based across Bridlington and Scarborough

About the Role
We are recruiting an experienced Debt Advice Caseworker to support people with complex financial situations, including problem debt, benefit issues and financial instability, within probation services, activity hubs and prison settings.
This role is suited to candidates with a background in frontline debt advice or money guidance, for example those who have worked for Citizens Advice, charitable debt advice services, housing associations, local authority welfare teams or similar organisations.
You will work with individuals who often have multiple debts, limited income and challenging personal circumstances. Your focus will be on reviewing financial situations in detail, developing realistic repayment plans, negotiating with creditors and helping people regain control of their finances.
This is NOT a collections, enforcement or commercial finance role. We are specifically seeking experience in supporting people with problem debt, NOT recovering debt.
What You Will Do
- Manage a caseload of individuals within probation services and community settings, providing structured one-to-one debt and money advice.
- Carry out full financial assessments, including income, expenditure and debt reviews.
- Support individuals to prioritise debts and develop affordable repayment plans.
- Liaise directly with creditors, landlords, utility companies and enforcement agencies to negotiate repayments, holds or resolutions.
- Provide guidance on benefits, entitlements and the responsibilities linked to ongoing claims.
- Support individuals to improve budgeting skills and financial stability over time.
- Maintain accurate, timely and compliant case records in line with advice standards.
- Work flexibly across community locations and prison environments where required.

- Experience supporting marginalised or vulnerable groups, including ex-offenders.
