**About Us**

Citizens Advice Bath and North East Somerset is an independent local charity providing information and advice to residents of the BANES council area. We aim to empower people to resolve their problems and change their lives for the better. We help people overcome their problems and campaign on big issues when their voices need to be heard. We value diversity, champion equality, and challenge discrimination and harassment. We’re here for everyone in the Bath and NE Somerset area and we work in partnership with other local services to provide the best possible advice and information to meet the needs of residents.

**Macmillan Linkworker Project**

We are very excited to be able to launch a new and innovative three-year project funded by Macmillan Cancer Support providing assistance to members of our community and their families who need a little bit of extra help with their day to day lives as they and their families live with their cancer.

Working alongside the Cancer Information and Support Centre at the RUH, GP surgeries across the region, Dorothy House Hospice Care, our existing Health and Wellbeing Benefits Team (also funded by Macmillan) and other partners this new team will help clients with all the small things in life that suddenly become big things as a result of living with cancer.

We have 3 vacancies available:
**Project Lead**: £30,800 pro rata, 15 hours per week

**Senior Linkworker**: £26,265 per annum, full time

**Linkworker**:£23,585 per annum, full time

The successful applicants may be asked to work across all our sites at Bath as well as at Midsomer Norton & Keynsham and surrounding areas as needed. Some home working is also an option with this role. You must have access to a car and a full driving licence for this role as it will involve travel to support clients in their own homes or at outreach centres.

**We value diversity and promote equality and would welcome suitably qualified people with disabilities and minority ethnic applicants as these groups are under-represented in our workforce.**
