We are looking to employ a highly motivated Generalist Advisor (Welfare Benefits) for Camden Disability Action's Advice services. You will have 2 years' recent experience in a welfare rights advice role and up to date knowledge of welfare benefits especially relating to Disabled adults and young Disabled people and their families. You will work in a holistic way, managing and holding complex cases and advocating for clients across statutory services, specialist advice partners and community organisations. Although we anticipate approximately 70% of the work will be related to welfare benefits, 30% will be general advice work. You will also need a basic understanding of housing, social care and independent living issues as they impact on Disabled people and a willingness to seek further training in this area.
You will be committed to learning more about the Social Model of Disability and you will share our vision for a radically inclusive world where people with differences are never Disabled by the society in which they live.
The role is full time and based in the London Borough of Camden. Hybrid and remote working options considered for the right candidate.
