Caseworker - Welfare Benefit Team
We are looking for a Caseworker to join our Welfare Benefit Team at Citizens Advice North Nottinghamshire. This is a hybrid role, but the in-office portion will mostly take place at our Mansfield offices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About the Role
The team does incredible work, determining if people are eligible for benefits, applying, challenging, and appealing decisions. In these difficult times, the role has never been more important, nor had the potential for such a positive and essential impact upon people’s lives.
We would be delighted to receive applications from people with or without a welfare benefit background. More important is your experience of customer service, and an ability to deal empathetically and professionally with clients.
Citizens Advice North Nottinghamshire is an organisation typically contacted when a client is at a key decision point of their life. They might be starting a family, have lost their job, dealing with the loss of a loved one, or even experiencing the end of a relationship. These changes come with financial complications, and this project’s role is to ease the burden of a client during these incredibly stressful periods of their lives, by giving high-quality advice and support on welfare benefits.

Responsibilities
The Caseworker’s role will be to help explore a client’s situation, and provide advice on the welfare benefits that might be available to that client and broader budgeting and money-saving advice. You will be giving advice face-to-face in Worksop and Mansfield, by telephone, by email, and other emerging contact channels.
Working Conditions
We have adopted a hybrid work environment with a requirement for roughly 50% of your time spent in the office. This is likely to be much higher during the initial training and induction period. This post will predominantly be taking clients from Mansfield, and will be required to be present in both Worksop and Mansfield offices regularly.
About Us
We are an office located in North Nottinghamshire, and give advice from Worksop, Mansfield, and Retford. We are friendly, dedicated, stable, and receive consistently excellent marks in quality audits, staff surveys, and client satisfaction surveys. We are a Disability Confident employer.
