To provide a responsive and needs-led frontline Money Advice and Support service to Portsmouth Homes residents and their households, who have significant and complex financial, benefit and Debt Needs, in order for them to be able to maintain their tenancies satisfactorily and to complement the support offered by generic Housing Officers. The role includes keeping up to date with welfare reforms as they happen and sharing this with your colleagues. On a daily basis the Money Advisers support Housing Officers to maximise tenant's income, reduce debt, to enable residents to sustain their tenancies. This is not a traditional Money Adviser role. Working within our Housing Offices you will not necessarily have responsibility for case holding or lead on money advice to tenants. Instead, you will work as part of the support team sharing your expertise in welfare benefits, debts and budgeting, developing the skills of others to deliver appropriate budgeting advice and assistance with maximising income. You will be required to take responsibility for case holding where there are complex circumstances, and where specialist support is required, for example PIP applications.
