We have several vacancies for volunteer Debt Advisors.
In this role you will assist clients to get a clear picture of their financial situation, ensure correct entitlement to benefits where appropriate and negotiate with creditors up to and including bankruptcy.
In this role you will assist clients in topics ranging from benefits entitlement, housing issues, relationship matters, initial employment and consumer support to taking transport bookings and arranging appointments with specialists or third-parties eg local solicitors at the VCI’s hosted legal surgeries.
The ideal candidate for both the Generalist and Debt Advisor vacancies would be comfortable dealing with clients and other agencies in person, by telephone and letter.
