Welfare Rights Officer - Kincardine and Mearns Citizens Advice Bureau

The successful applicant will deliver a welfare benefit advice service to clients completing benefit checks, assessing benefit entitlement and assisting in the completion of forms, where appropriate. The postholder will also be expected to appropriately refer onwards for further specialist advice, for example, debts.

To be successful in the role you should have a desire to help individuals and families who have been affected by a cancer diagnosis and will need to be well organised with good planning skills with a well-disciplined approach to work.

Experience of working in an advice-giving capacity and/or a knowledge or interest in the social security system would be advantageous but not essential.
