We are seeking a highly motivated individual to manage the Core Service, our largest multi channel advice activity. The Core Service is mostly delivered by volunteers, the appreciation and encouragement of whom is imperative. Equally imperative is ensuring that advice delivery meets regulatory, funder and internal standards.
As with everything we do, the Core Service must remain responsive to changes in the community’s advice needs, and also to how the community needs that advice to be delivered (for example the introduction of new channels or delivery points). The post holder will therefore listen well, foster an appetite and readiness for change in our people, and be persistent. In terms of day to day service delivery, they will thrive in the following environment (and support others to do the same); unpredictability, clients in difficult situations, multiple advice subjects, and incoming referrals arriving from different partners and channels.

We seek an experienced professional with strong inter-personal skills and integrity who can travel throughout North Wales. This is a newly created role, to ensure that EU citizens in North Wales secure their immigration status under the EU Settlement Scheme and understand and access the rights and services which come with that status.
You will reach out and build diverse partnerships throughout all parts of North Wales so that the most isolated and vulnerable EU citizens receive good quality information and advice services, and expand provision of new face to face advice services in community venues.
This post is funded by the Welsh Government and the postholder will be expected to meet requirements and demonstrate results as agreed with the Welsh Government. Historically, North Wales has had less immigration advice provision than South Wales so this role is part of an important effort to address this imbalance and provide the EU communities of North Wales with a more accessible service.
Applicants should submit a CV and a cover letter that outines how you fit the person specification.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
