We are recruiting a General Advice Officer to support with the delivery of advice and welfare support to guests who access Sufra’s Food Bank, Community Kitchen and the Community Wellbeing Project.

The post-holder will provide high quality welfare advice and guidance through weekly one-to-one advice sessions, undertake case work, work with partners to facilitate referrals, and provide support to advice volunteers.

The successful candidate must have at least two years’ experience delivering effective advice in a similar capacity, demonstrate empathy, an understanding of the issues facing vulnerable people, and have in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of welfare benefits with a strong focus on achieving tangible outcomes for our guests.

We understand that working in the charity sector can be both deeply rewarding and demanding, we provide comprehensive training and support so our team can expand their skills and take on new challenges. We are looking for an General Advice Officer who is passionate, reflective and ambitious about bringing about positive change for our guests. The right candidate should be empathetic and patient, skilled at problem-solving, highly organised and diligent.

This is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of our guests. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and life experiences, as we believe this diversity makes us better able to serve the diverse communities of Brent.

We are looking for an exceptionally committed individual who is willing to go the extra mile. If you are dedicated to bringing about positive change for some of the most marginalised communities in Brent through advice, we would love to hear from you!
