About the role
East Devon District Council is committed to tackling poverty and this creative role plays an integral part in aiding the production of the Council's anti-poverty strategy. In this interesting and varied role, you will need to think outside the box and source ways to support people who are facing hardship and living in poverty.

So, if you are an individual who is passionate about helping to address the underlying root causes of poverty and motivated to be part of building a solution that works for our residents long term, we want to hear from you.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential to enable effective communication with a wide range of people, explaining complex legislation in a straightforward way and discussing sometimes difficult and sensitive situations with tact and diplomacy.

You will need to be a team player and self-motivated to organise and manage your own workload whilst also possessing problem-solving skills to enable you to find innovative and creative solutions to the issues and problems facing our residents. A valid driving license and own car are essential (reasonable adjustments may be possible according to the Equality Act).
