We’re looking for an enthusiastic and well-organised person to join our Money Advice Team as a Casework Support Officer.

Each year our advisers support hundreds of clients to find solutions for their money and debt related problems Our Casework Support Officer helps to make this possible by supporting both the clients and our caseworkers.

As client demand is high, a large part of the role is supporting the advisers to ensure we’re helping our clients as efficiently as we can.

This role requires the use of our Case Management System, so you’ll need to be able to work to a high level of accuracy when recording information and following procedures. We work closely together on cases, so the ability to work as part of a team is essential.
