Salary: Circa £27,000 (FTE) (actual salary will be determined by employing Local Citizens Advice Office but is expected to be in this region

Citizens Advice Essex, the consortium of local Citizens Advice serving Essex, Southend and Thurrock, has entered into a long-term partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support to set up and deliver a new specialist advice service providing expert welfare benefits advice to people diagnosed with cancer and their families. The service aims to support individuals holistically, to ensure the financial effect of their diagnosis is mitigated by ensuring all possible benefits are claimed, other sources of financial support accessed and that they are referred to other Citizens Advice or Macmillan services where appropriate. 

These posts are to provide intensive, expert welfare benefits advice and casework to clients diagnosed with cancer and their immediate families.  Candidates will require a strong, testable and working knowledge of welfare benefits ideally obtained within a not-for-profit advice setting.

*We have 10 FTE roles available, but individual host Local Citizens Advice may consider a combination of part-time hours (minimum of 18.5) up to their total allocation of hours. The location of the host Local Citizens Advice will be deemed as the place of work and denotes the broad coverage of each caseworker’s geographic remit.
