About the role

------------------


The Advice Team Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day support and line management of a team of advisers and caseworkers. This includes for example 1-2-1s, appraisals, mentoring, return to work interviews and generally ensuring that workers feel supported and enabled in their roles.


The post holder will also help to ensure that service delivery meets appropriate quality standards, and provide some duty supervisor cover on a Rota and 'as and when' basis. The post will suit someone who has an advice background, but is keen to use their skills in a management capacity.


This is a new role for us here at Citizens Advice Southampton. We are seeking to take some of the day-to-day pressures off our Service Manager, allowing him to focus on more strategic and developmental tasks.


We are a flexible, collaborative and supportive team, and the post holder will be able to make this role 'their own'.


This role is subject to a Basic DBS check which will be applied for when the role is offered and accepted.


We're looking for someone who has proven experience of supervising or line managing advisers and caseworkers, and who has a strong working knowledge of our main advice areas, such as benefits, debt, housing and employment.


You'll need to be a strong communicator with with the ability to motivate, support and challenge constructively.
