This is an exciting opportunity to bring our ambitious plans into life-changing support programmes for those experiencing financial distress.
The Somerset Crisis and Resilience Alliance is a voluntary and statutory sector partnership hosted by Citizens Advice Somerset as the Lead Accountable Body (LAB). The Alliance has come together to build financial resilience (for individuals and for communities) through provision of support for those experiencing financial distress and prevention programmes for those most at risk of financial vulnerability.
The role of the Programme Development Manager is focused on building the Alliance as a high-value partnership. The postholder will be instrumental in enabling collaboration, capacity building and service development across the partnership. Reporting to the CEO at Citizens Advice Somerset and accountable to the Alliance Steering Group the successful candidate will play a key role in bringing different partner goals together and ensuring our collaboration delivers a highly effective programme of activities.
The successful candidate will be someone that can build trusted relationships across sectors with experience of managing partnerships and voluntary sector service delivery. Ideally the Programme Development Manager will bring an understanding of best practice in building individual financial resilience including the Financial Conduct Authority standards for money and debt advice.
