Summary
We are currently looking for trainee advisers to join our friendly and supportive team, funded by the Money & Pensions Service (MaPS) to provide an England-wide phone and digital debt service. The service is free to clients struggling with debts and will offer a full range of support from information and referrals, through to advice and casework, helping clients find a way forward with their debts.

This role will be based full-time in our Plymouth city centre office.
