Join Us at Citizens Advice Camden

Citizens Advice Camden is an independent local charity with over 85 years experience providing free, confidential, and impartial advice to help people resolve their legal, financial, and other problems. We are proud of our commitment to tackling inequality and helping those in our community who need support the most. Our work spans a broad range of social welfare law issues and we are known for delivering high-quality, holistic advice and casework.

Supporting Families at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital

Since 2008, Citizens Advice Camden has provided a pioneering and well-regarded advice service at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) — the first of its kind in a UK children’s hospital. The service supports families of seriously ill and disabled children who are receiving treatment at GOSH, helping them navigate the life-changing socio-economic impacts of their child’s illness. We work closely with GOSH staff and partners — including social workers, family support officers, chaplains, and other stakeholders — to offer technical advice and casework that complements the hospital’s wider support services.

The issues families face can include reduced income, unsuitable housing, debt, and accessing benefits — especially during long or repeated hospital stays. Many families continue to receive our support over months or years, and our work is rooted in partnership, compassion, and a strong commitment to GOSH’s ‘One Team’ ethos.

The Role: Generalist Adviser/Caseworker

We are seeking an experienced adviser/caseworker to join the service. The successful candidate will deliver high-quality, holistic advice and in-depth casework across a range of social welfare issues, with a strong focus on welfare benefits (including appeals) and housing, including complex and disrepair cases. You will provide tailored, long-term support to families, managing multi-issue caseloads with sensitivity and a commitment to empowering clients. Close collaboration with healthcare and support professionals at GOSH is essential to ensure integrated and effective service delivery. You will also contribute to research and campaigns by gathering social policy evidence and maintain accurate, detailed case records to support monitoring and evaluation.

To succeed in this role, you will need experience in advice and casework—particularly in welfare benefits and housing—along with confidence in using digital systems and tools for remote working. You should be proactive, well-organised, and capable of handling a demanding and emotionally complex workload. Strong communication skills are essential, as is an understanding of the social and economic challenges faced by families of seriously ill children. You must hold, or be able to provide evidence of meeting, MaPS accreditation at advice and casework level.

Being available onsite is an important aspect of this role and so this role is hybrid working. The exact split between remote/onsite working will be by agreement with the line manager and to meet the needs of the project, which could change over time.

Appointment to the role is subject to being granted GOSH honorary staff status, which includes full compliance with GOSH policies and training requirements, as well as a satisfactory enhanced DBS check.

If you’re passionate about making a difference and have the experience and empathy to support families we’d love to hear from you.

Start Date: Immediately (subject to pre-employment checks)

Closing date for applications: 9am on Monday 28th April 2025

Interview Date: Tuesday 6th May or Thursday 8th May, Interviews to be held on Zoom

TEP was founded by the Directors of ImpactEd Group and is incubated by the Group, receiving operational and governance support from Group Services. ImpactEd Group supports education and purpose-driven organisations to maximise their potential. We do this by helping our partners to be consistently impactful and operationally sustainable.

The Engagement Platform (TEP)

Our Vision: An education system where school engagement is consistently understood and acted on to improve pupil outcomes, employee culture and community relations.

Our Mission: The Engagement Platform exists to support schools and Trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve the engagement of pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders.

TEP exists to support schools and trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve school engagement. As a platform, TEP captures and reports on engagement across various dimensions and stakeholder groups: pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders. TEP helps schools to understand and act on this data. The platform's ability to track changes over time enables schools to measure the impact of their interventions, ensuring that their engagement strategies are effective and adjusted as needed. This action-oriented approach ensures that school engagement is not simply a metric or backward-looking accountability tool, it is core to school improvement.

Alongside providing detailed school and Multi-Academy Trust level insights, we are building the national evidence base around school engagement as a lead indicator. Our research unit provides national insights and research publications to support school level insight and build better sector understanding of school employee engagement. We engage with the TEP school community to provide research insights, case studies and best practice examples to support their practice.
