Dosh

Dosh is a not-for-profit company that supports people with a learning disability to have more control and more independence over their money. Dosh is a specialist company within the Thera Group and provides support to people with a learning disability in England, Scotland and Wales. The company was set up in 2007.

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen in Nottingham for a Named Financial Advocate to act in the role of appointee and financial advocate for people with a learning disability.

Money is essential for so much of everyday life and how we use money can be a very personal thing. As an advocate you will support people to manage their finances. You will get to know the individuals and help them, their support team and family use their money to achieve their goals and live the life they choose. You will also be responsible for managing their benefit claims and budget and arranging bill payments. This will enable them to reach decisions, make informed choices and express their views, giving them more control and independence with their money.

Although this is a home-based role, it will include frequent travel to visit the individuals you support along with remote support from local advocates, managers and the administrative and finance teams based in our office in Grantham.

This role will suit people who have the ability and flexibility to travel, work mainly weekdays (although some evening and weekend work may be required) and can work from home.
