Description

Location: Worthing base with travel across Sussex.
Salary: £28,640 per annum
Hours: 37 per week

Could you help change lives? Join our team and support vulnerable people to manage their money, navigate the welfare benefits system and improve their financial wellbeing.

We have a fantastic new job opportunity for a Welfare Benefits Advisor (known internally as a Financial Inclusion Specialist) to join the organisation’s Financial Inclusion team.

As part of Southdown’s mental health and learning disability services across Sussex, you will provide one-to-one support to vulnerable clients experiencing benefit or financial difficulties. You will offer advice on welfare entitlements, assist with benefit claims, and work with agencies such as the DWP and local authorities.

You will help clients improve their financial stability and maintain independence through guidance and advocacy, while also contributing to service improvements through feedback and ideas.

We welcome applications from candidates with previous experience such as Welfare Benefits Adviser, Benefits Officer, Money and Debt Adviser, Financial Inclusion Officer, Support Worker, Housing Officer, or Mental Health Practitioner.

We also welcome applications from those who are looking for a new rewarding opportunity and have the transferable skills to support people facing financial and mental health challenges: numeracy, compassion, communication and an ability to implement our award winning inhouse training.

What you’ll be doing:

Provide Specialist Advice: Support clients with new and ongoing claims for benefits such as Universal Credit, ESA and PIP. Support clients with benefit appeals.
Welfare Benefit Calculations: Provide benefit checks and calculations to ensure incomes are maximised and clients are reassured when looking for work
Advocate for Clients and Tenants: Liaise with the DWP, Housing Benefit teams and other agencies to resolve issues and ensure accurate claims
Facilitate Workshops and Presentations: Inform Southdown staff and clients when relevant updates are needed
Prevent rent arrears: Support tenants to manage their tenancies independently through budgeting and education
Coordinate Support: Maintain close communication with support workers and other Southdown services to provide holistic and enhanced support
Maintain Records: Accurately record casework in line with data protection regulations and organisational procedures
Safeguard Clients: Identify and report safeguarding concerns, ensuring all actions follow policy and procedure

Perks and benefits:

Health cost cash-back scheme: access to our health insurance scheme which covers dental, optical, physical therapies and other medical treatments with the option to add greater levels of cover.
Interest-free loans: assistance with larger costs that arise such as tenancy deposits, season travel tickets or buying a car.
Access to the Easit Network: discounts and incentives on train, bus and car journeys such as 15% off eligible daily and season rail tickets.
Blue Light card: access to discount services for the social care sector with savings across thousands of online shops, restaurants, and high-street vendors.
Free advice and counselling service: confidential emotional support and practical guidance from our independent telephone service.
25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

What you’ll need for the role:

A standard DBS check (paid for by Southdown)
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
Strong numerical skills and ability to problem-solve
Tenacity and the ability to work through complex cases
Excellent communication and advocacy skills with empathy and professionalism
Organised and able to manage competing priorities effectively
Confident IT user, including Microsoft Word and record management systems
Awareness of safeguarding principles and commitment to equality and diversity
Confidence managing risk and co-creating safety plans

What would be nice:

Strong understanding of the UK welfare benefits system and entitlement criteria
Experience of providing welfare benefits advice, calculations and casework
Knowledge of money advice and financial inclusion
Familiarity with Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and supported housing
Experience supporting people with mental health needs, including those in crisis or facing complex challenges
