Do you have excellent communication and customer service skills?

Do you want to work for one of the best employability providers in Scotland?

Would you like to help someone with barriers to build the confidence and knowledge to manage their own finances?

Then come and work for Enable Works.

Your role, as an Income Maximisation Officer, is to alleviate poverty, hardship and disadvantage by providing information, advice and advocacy on welfare benefits to those who have barriers to work.

Enable Works are the leading specialist provider of employability services for people who have barriers to work. We believe that every person in Scotland has the right to work in a job that is high quality and well paid.

We partner with thousands of employers to create inclusive cultures and improve the diversity of Scotland's workforce.

We are incredibly proud of our smart, capable, and motivated colleagues across Scotland and following a period of significant growth we are looking to grow our team.

We offer a generous salary, excellent benefits, and opportunities to develop and grow in your role.

We offer flexible working practices that promote a strong work/life balance so that when you are at work you can be the best version of you.

Values are more important to us than qualifications or experience, so if you don’t think you meet every requirement that’s ok, we still want to hear from you.

Why?

Our vision is that every disabled person in Scotland is able to access the support they need to find and sustain a high quality job that pays them well, and your drive and commitment to income maximisation will help them do this. You will recognise each client’s individual circumstances and work with them to secure the income and support they are entitled to.  

Our culture is autonomous so that means we trust you to make the right decisions for your clients, therefore you need to manage your workload well and be accountable for your time. Attention to detail is important as it means you can work accurately and follow instructions, particularly given the technical nature of the benefits advice and advocacy.
