## Resource

Advice Direct Scotland is expanding its team with new In-Person Advocates across Scotland to empower vulnerable people—especially disabled individuals and those struggling with benefits—to confidently navigate the social security system. These advocates will meet clients face-to-face in communities or at home, simplifying complex rules, preparing for assessments, and supporting appeals. Ideal candidates are compassionate, skilled communicators with experience in welfare or community work, who thrive in helping others through tough times. Training is provided, and while an advocacy qualification is preferred, it’s not required. Roles include travel, community outreach, and admin, so a UK driving license and car are essential. In return, they offer a four-day work week, generous leave, pension contributions, and full-time pay on reduced hours. As a Disability Confident Employer, they welcome all applicants and offer adjustments. Starting at £28,000+, this is a meaningful career opportunity to make a real difference in Scotland’s most vulnerable communities.
