Staffordshire Districts. A blend of office, outreach and home working.

The Role

The ideal candidate will provide face to face advice and support to local people, including those living in the community who could be considered ‘vulnerable adults’.

The caseworker will assist clients with complex welfare, debt and housing enquiries, covering issues across each subject. This requires a good foundation knowledge of each advice area, so competence in these subjects is essential.

• Confident in working to performance targets.
• Able to show good communications skills, both written and verbal. These are essential in the role, as are excellent customer service skills with a non-judgemental approach.
