There’s never been a more important time to join Citizens Advice as an Information and Advice Supervisor. With the soaring cost of living, individuals and families are struggling to make ends meet, and we’re experiencing record-breaking demand for our services. In this role, you’ll be responsible for guiding and supporting a team of volunteers, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to provide accurate and effective information and advice to our clients. If you’re a natural leader committed to helping others, this is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact during a critical time.

Your ability to manage complex cases, provide clear guidance, and foster a positive and supportive team environment will be crucial as we help clients navigate a range of issues. This role not only requires a deep understanding of the challenges our clients face but also the leadership skills to inspire and develop your team to meet these challenges head-on.
You’ll also lead and drive forward our Advice First Aid and Information Service, setting up Community Information Points and building positive relationships with key partners in the community.
Joining Citizens Advice means becoming part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in people’s lives. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside passionate professionals in a supportive environment that values integrity, support, inclusion and collaboration.
