Further information

The Casework Team is based within Housing Options and is responsible for providing housing advice and assistance to clients who present as homeless or at risk of homelessness.
The Money Advice Caseworker will primarily work with clients who are threatened with homelessness caused by financial difficulties, so ideally you will have a knowledge of the welfare benefits system. There will be a strong emphasis on the prevention of homelessness and, as such, the successful candidate will negotiate on the client's behalf with landlords, relatives, mortgagees, creditors and courts to enable people to remain in their own houses wherever possible.
For more information, please contact Sara Evans, Casework Team Leader on sara.evans@swansea.gov.uk
