We're looking for a Generalist Adviser (or Trainee) to join our team.

Why This Role Matters:

As part of our team, you won't just give advice - you'll empower people to take control of their lives, challenge unfair systems, and build a fairer future for our communities.

Energy, consumer issues and more

Support clients via phone, face-to-face appointments, and community outreach

Help clients complete forms, challenge decisions, and navigate complex systems

Work alongside a collaborative team of advisers and volunteers

Contribute to campaigns that challenge unfair policies and systems

This is hands-on, meaningful work where your expertise will have a direct impact every single day.
