Debt and Money Advice Caseworker

Kirklees Citizens Advice and Law Centre has a vacancy for a Debt and Money Advice Caseworker. The aim of the post is to deliver comprehensive debt, money advice and complete debt solutions to a wide range of clients across the Kirklees area.

A proven ability to work flexibly and efficiently in a demanding environment is essential and using your excellent communication skills, emotional resilience (being able to deal with difficult situations everyday) and the ability to think on your feet to get results are very important aspects of the post. Suitable candidates for the post will have recent experience of delivering comprehensive debt advice across all debt solutions to a wide range of clients (face to face and on the telephone).

You will be experienced in managing your own caseload and keeping your cases up to date leading to a successful conclusion for your clients whilst competing with conflicting priorities.

Along with debt solutions and casework experience, you will have a broader demonstrable knowledge in the benefits system and be able to support clients to maximise their income and improve their longer-term financial capability in this area.

We are looking to recruit a full-time caseworker but consideration will be given for part-time working.
