Job Purpose

To provide high quality advice and representation to individuals and families on income maximisation, welfare benefits, debt, housing and money, in line with the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers. 

The adviser will deliver support across a range of settings in line with MAT Standard 8, which states that all people must have access to independent advocacy and support for housing, welfare and income needs. This includes helping individuals to navigate services, have their voice heard, and secure their rights, particularly where poverty, stigma or complex needs create barriers to engagement. The adviser’s work forms part of a project funded through the DDTF Improvement Fund, administered by Corra, which aims to reduce drug-related harm by addressing the wider social and structural factors that impact on recovery and wellbeing.

By joining our team, you will be helping alleviate poverty and improve individuals, families and children’s lives and ensure our Vision is fulfilled, in that no one in our communities endures hardship.
