Money Advice Caseworker (Trainee or Qualified Pathway)
Finding Your Fit
Managing debt and navigating financial pathways can be highly complex. At Citizens Advice 1066, we look for people who enjoy structured problem-solving and want to help local residents find a clear, compliant path forward.
We are open to applications from both experienced advisers and trainees. Wherever you are in your career, we provide a structured environment to help you succeed:
- If you are qualified: You already hold a certificate in Money Advice Practice (or equivalent) and are ready to manage an active caseload independently.
- If you are a trainee: You bring excellent transferable skills—like strong communication, numeracy, and an organised approach —and we will invest in your training to get you fully qualified.
Is This the Right Space for You?
- Do you have a naturally analytical mind? Can you review a complex situation, map out the full financial picture, and systematically identify opportunities like income maximisation?
- Are you a calm, professional communicator? Can you lead clear, structured conversations that put clients at ease, ensuring they feel respected while you explore their circumstances?
- Do you value a methodical approach? Do you enjoy negotiating with third parties, drafting precise correspondence, and following clear industry guidelines?
- Are you looking for a role with a clear purpose? Do you want to apply your thoroughness to make a tangible, positive difference to someone's financial stability?
How We Support You
We recognise that delivering specialist debt casework requires a highly structured and supportive professional environment.
- Clear Progression: Your salary reflects your experience. Trainees start at £32,294.38 and move up to the full rate of £33,882.62 once fully qualified.
- Structured Supervision: You will participate in regular one-to-one supervision sessions and team meetings to discuss caseload progress, share knowledge, and manage deadlines effectively.
- Continuous Development: We fully support your ongoing learning, providing access to the latest case law publications, relevant external training sessions, and continuous industry updates.

Financial Wellbeing Adviser
What it’s all about
Navigating personal finances, energy options, and digital systems can be a complex challenge. At Citizens Advice 1066, we focus on delivering structured, practical solutions that help local residents build long-term financial resilience and independence.
Is this the right fit for you?
- Do you have a naturally analytical mind? Can you look at a complex situation and piece together the full picture—whether that is identifying an unclaimed benefit or spotting hidden factors behind fuel poverty?
- Are you able to create a calm, professional environment? Can you lead structured conversations that put clients at ease, helping them navigate difficult situations and overcome any stigma associated with seeking support?
- Do you enjoy sharing practical skills? Can you engage confidently with adults—including those who may have had poor experiences with formal education—to make budgeting, saving, and digital inclusion accessible?
- Are you looking for a role with a clear purpose? Do you want to apply your thorough approach to ensure clients leave our service feeling respected, heard, and better equipped to manage their finances?
If you have a genuine commitment to addressing poverty and a thorough approach to delivering high service standards, we would value your application.
