Additionally, the newly established Scottish team will be part of a national service, providing support across all four nations.
As a Regional Manager, you will play a crucial role in establishing the service, utilising your expertise in Scottish debt enforcement, insolvency, and the welfare benefits system. Your responsibilities will include recruiting a team of advisers who will be responsible for delivering this essential service. Additionally, you will be responsible for implementing the necessary governance measures to ensure that the service is both compliant and of high quality.
If you want to improve people’s lives, then please consider applying. We look forward to receiving your application.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Service Development & Promotion: Partner with the Head of Welfare to develop and promote the Benefits, Debt & Money Advice Service across Scotland, leveraging strong networking and stakeholder management skills.
- Compliance & Standards: Ensure that service delivery aligns with FCA regulations, nationally agreed standards, and best practices in benefits and money advice.
- Resource Coordination: Oversee resource allocation and plan support activities to deliver flexible, person-centered assistance through both community-based and remote services.
- Team Leadership: Manage the Regional team, including recruitment, onboarding, and training, to uphold high service standards while ensuring adherence to relevant policies, practices, and procedures.
- Technical Knowledge Maintenance: Handle a small caseload of benefits, debt, and money advice cases to stay up-to-date with industry developments and technical expertise.
