Do you believe in the power of good information and advice and do you want to make a difference in a new mental health team? Then we want to hear from you for the role of:

Benefits, Debt and Housing Advice Worker

We know that lack of money, debt and poor housing can be a primary cause or exacerbate mental health problems. Therefore this role will be very important within this new mental health service.

The role will offer an advice service across Manchester and take referrals from within the Living Well Team. Support and training will be provided.

Note: if you have the experience and knowledge for this role but would prefer full-time hours (35 hours per week) then let us know, there might be something we can do to facilitate this. If this is the case, please email recruitment@manchestermind.org before making your application.

The skills and knowledge that are important to us are:

• Experience of delivering advice across debt, benefits and housing.
• Ability to work in a strengths-based way that recognises the potential for people to develop and enable resilience.
• A commitment to working collaboratively to help bring about change.
