About The Gatehouse and OWNS:

The Gatehouse and Oxford Winter Night Shelter (OWNS) are working in partnership to provide support for adults experiencing homelessness or who are vulnerably housed in Oxford.

Both organisations provide welcoming, trauma-informed environments where people can access practical support, community and opportunities to move towards greater stability and independence. This project has been developed to strengthen access to employment, training, volunteering and financial resilience opportunities for people who may otherwise face significant barriers to engaging with these pathways.

Staff receive a 5% pension contribution, cashback healthcare scheme and other benefits.

Job Purpose:

The Money Advice Worker will provide specialist support to people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity who are facing financial difficulties, debt, benefit-related challenges or problems managing their income.

The role will focus on helping guests improve their financial resilience through practical advice, advocacy and support. This may include budgeting, debt management, income maximisation, accessing benefits, dealing with arrears, negotiating with creditors and helping individuals understand and manage their finances more effectively.

Working across both The Gatehouse and The Living Room, the postholder will build trusting relationships with guests, helping them overcome barriers that place them at risk of homelessness or prevent them from moving forward.

The Money Advice Worker will form part of The Gatehouse's established Casework Team and work closely with colleagues, volunteers and external agencies to improve financial stability and reduce homelessness caused by poverty, debt and financial exclusion.

This is a rewarding role that enables people to take greater control of their finances and build the foundations for a more stable future.
