An exciting opportunity has arisen in Dosh for a Named Financial Advocate to act in the role of appointee and financial advocate for people with a learning disability.
Money is essential for so much of everyday life and how we use money can be a very personal thing. As an advocate you will support people to manage their finances. You will get to know individuals and help them, their support team and family use their money to achieve their goals and live the life they choose. You will also be responsible for managing their benefit claims and budget and arranging bill payments. This will enable them to reach decisions, make informed choices and express their views, giving them more control and independence with their money.
Although this is a home-based role, it may include some travel to visit the individuals you support along with support from local advocates, managers and the administrative and finance teams based in our office in Grantham.
This role will suit people who have the ability and flexibility to travel, work mainly weekdays (although some evening and weekend work may be required) and can work from home.
If you cannot find the vacancy for you, but are keen to join Dosh in the future, please contact us. We always like to talk to people who are interested in Dosh and keep in touch in case of future vacancies.
