Kirklees Citizens Advice and Law Centre has a vacancy for a Debt and Money Advice Caseworker. The aim of the post is to deliver comprehensive debt, money advice and complete debt solutions to a wide range of clients across the Kirklees area.

Working in liaison with the Debt Team Manager, the Debt Caseworker will be responsible for ensuring that advice is delivered to consistently high quality standard that meets the MaPS Standard technical requirements, as set out by the Money and Pensions Service.

A proven ability to work flexibly and efficiently in a demanding environment is essential and using your excellent communication skills, emotional resilience (being able to deal with difficult situations everyday) and the ability to think on your feet to get results are very important aspects of the post.

Along with debt solutions and casework experience, you will have a broader demonstrable knowledge in the benefits system and be able to support clients to maximise their income and improve their longer-term financial capability in this area.

Priority will be given to applicants who are CertMAP qualified (Certificate in Money Advice Practice) or equivalent and/or an approved Debt Relief Order Intermediary.
We will not consider applicants who do not have the experience we require.
