Citizens Advice Edenbridge & Westerham has opportunities for volunteers to train as advisers. Advisers are at the heart of delivering the Citizens Advice service. Our advisers help our clients with a wide range of problems, including benefits, debt, employment and housing issues.
You don’t need specific qualifications or experience, as advisers you will receive full training and always have a supervisor available. As an adviser, you could be:
- exploring and identifying the clients’ problems;
- researching information using Citizens Advice resources;
- explaining options to clients;
- helping clients make informed decisions about how to deal with their problems.
- you could also be acting on behalf of the client, negotiating, drafting or writing letters, making phone calls or appropriate referrals.
If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering as an adviser, please telephone Jill Eyre, our Chief Officer, on:
