Client Liaison Officer - Navigate Charity
- Devon, Exeter, Hybrid
- Full Time
- £26,228 - £27,880 per annum (depending on experience)
Fixed term until 31st March 2029 Do you have experience supporting people who may be vulnerable, anxious or facing difficult circumstances? Are you approachable, organised and good at helping people feel heard and supported? We are recruiting for full-time Client Liaison Officers to join a new partnership service supporting people experiencing financial hardship across Exeter. What we're looking for We're looking for people who genuinely want to make a difference. Previous experience in money or debt advice isn't essential – we'll provide the training and support you need to develop the knowledge and skills required for the role. What matters most is that you're an excellent communicator, a natural problem solver and someone who can build trust with people who may be struggling to engage with services. Our clients may be experiencing financial hardship alongside housing insecurity, poor physical or mental health, disability, trauma, digital exclusion, low confidence or other circumstances that make accessing traditional services difficult. As a Client Liaison Officer, you will often be one of the first people a client speaks to. You'll take time to understand the individual and their circumstances, identify immediate needs, complete initial checks and assessments, and help them take the next steps towards the right advice and support. A key part of the role is helping people engage with advice. This means listening without judgement, understanding what might be making engagement difficult and adapting your approach to the individual. You'll work closely with our Money Advice Caseworkers and partner organisations across Exeter to help clients stay engaged and make their journey through advice as straightforward as possible. You might be a great fit if you: have experience supporting people who may be vulnerable or need additional support; are friendly, patient and confident communicating with a wide range of people; can listen, ask appropriate questions and respond without judgement; are organised and comfortable using IT and recording information accurately; can work independently while being part of a wider team; and want a role where you can make a practical difference to people's lives. Your experience might come from housing, health or social care, mental health, community services, customer support, benefits, homelessness, advocacy or another people-focused role. Full training and support will be provided. Location is important These are client-facing roles based in Exeter. You must be able to work in Exeter and be based at the Council offices for at least two days each week, as well as meeting clients face-to-face. Delivery will also include working from community locations across the city and, where needed, outreach and home visits. The roles are hybrid, with some home working available. Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the roles, salary, hours and requirements. If you have strong experience supporting people but haven't worked in the money advice sector before, please don't let that stop you applying. We're interested in the transferable skills and experience you can bring – and we'll support you to develop the specialist knowledge you need. How to Apply If you’re interested in joining us, we’d love to hear from you. Please email jen@navigatecharity.org.uk to request an application pack. Full details of the application process will be included in the pack. We may close applications earlier if we receive a sufficient number of suitable applications, so early applications are encouraged.

- £26,228 - £29,007 per annum (depending on experience)
Fixed term until 31st March 2029 Are you experienced in supporting people through difficult circumstances and looking for a role where you can make a real difference? We are recruiting for full-time Money Advice Caseworkers to join a new partnership service supporting people experiencing financial hardship across Exeter. What we're looking for We're looking for people who genuinely want to make a difference. Previous experience in money or debt advice isn't essential – we'll provide the training and support you need to develop the technical knowledge and skills. What matters most is that you're an excellent communicator, a natural problem solver and someone who enjoys working alongside people to help them overcome challenges. This role is about much more than providing debt advice. Our clients may be experiencing financial hardship alongside housing insecurity, poor physical or mental health, disability, trauma, digital exclusion, low confidence or other circumstances that make accessing traditional services difficult. That's why our approach is different. We take time to understand the person as well as their financial circumstances, building trusted relationships and tailoring support around individual needs. We work with clients to identify and overcome barriers to engaging with advice, providing flexible one-to-one support for as long as reasonably needed to help them move towards greater financial stability. You will support clients with budgeting, income maximisation, benefits, debt and financial resilience, advocating on their behalf where appropriate and helping them understand their options and make informed decisions. We're particularly interested in people with transferable skills from working with vulnerable people. Your experience might come from housing, homelessness, health or social care, mental health, benefits, community services, advocacy or another support role. If you are compassionate, resilient, organised and confident working independently with people experiencing complex circumstances, we'd love to hear from you. Location is important These are client-facing roles based in Exeter. You must be able to work within Exeter and meet clients face-to-face. Delivery will include working from community locations across the city and, where needed, outreach and home visits. The roles are hybrid, with some home working available. There are two vacancies within our partnership service, with successful candidates employed by partner organisations. Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the roles, salary, hours and requirements. If you have strong experience supporting people but haven't worked in debt advice before, please don't let that stop you applying.
