Welfare Benefits Advice Caseworker

Do you want to make a real difference to the lives of people struggling with the high cost of living? Or help disabled people challenge benefits decisions that threaten to leave them in poverty?

North Bristol Advice Centre (NBAC) is recruiting a Welfare Benefits Advice Caseworker to provide one-to-one advice support in communities.

This is a varied and exciting role leading our outreach work, working with partner organisations based in the heart of communities.  As a Welfare Benefits Advice Caseworker, you will provide specialist welfare benefits advice, based at our office in Lockleaze and outreach locations across North Bristol and South Gloucestershire. You’ll provide one-to-one support to address a range of issues from benefit checks and supporting with claims, to casework and providing representation at appeal tribunals, helping people to maximise their income and secure their legal entitlements.

The ideal candidate would have experience of providing welfare benefits advice and the ability to carry out casework. However, we are willing to offer a trainee position to the right candidate who has transferrable skills. Ideal previous experience for a trainee candidate would include experience of supporting vulnerable people, working as a support worker, providing information and guidance or someone already volunteering in an advice setting.
