Summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a successful candidate to provide comprehensive benefits and income maximisation advice and support to clients currently undergoing treatment for cancer. This ranges from undertaking benefit checks, support to apply for benefits and grants and also support to request a revision or change of circumstances as appropriate. The role also involves assessing the client’s situation, dealing promptly with any emergencies, and liaising with benefit agencies, health providers and external organisations to support the client as much as possible. The role also involves ensuring that the client’s details are fully captured on our online recording system and that all statistical data is captured for funding purposes. This is a hybrid working role with some time spend on a rotational basis at Roxburghe House along with working from our main office on Union Street and potential for home working as well. As such, the ability to travel around Aberdeen between locations is essential. This post is funded by the Macmillan Cancer Support.
