Responsible for developing and leading a team of staff and volunteers, you will manage the services and day-to-day activities of the Information Hub, which works in partnership with specialist advice providers to support clients who are in need of assistance with a variety of welfare, housing, debt & money issues. Previous experience of supporting people to access advice, information services and opportunities, including volunteering is therefore required.
