TIME ON YOUR HANDS?  CARE ABOUT PEOPLE?  WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

If the answer is yes … read on!

North Wiltshire Citizens Advice Bureau is recruiting new advisers to begin this September.

You may well have heard about Citizens Advice in news reports or on TV and radio programmes when they have produced an influential report or when commentators advise people to contact us for help with their problems.

What you may not realise is that the CAB is a charity and it is a team of highly trained volunteers that provide information and advice to clients and who gather the evidence to produce the reports that are used to influence organisations and government.

The work is interesting, challenging and rewarding. People often visit the bureau at the most difficult times of their lives – when they are dealing with illness, disability, relationship breakdown, redundancy or bereavement. The advice and support we provide can make a real difference to people’s lives. 

North Wilts CAB currently has 37 volunteers who work alongside a team of paid staff including specialist advisers. In 2007 - 2008 we helped 5,572 households and gained more than ONE MILLION POUNDS for them in unclaimed benefits, written -off debts, employment awards and other entitlements.

Interested? Got 10 hours a week to spare? Contact Sandi Sorell, Bureau Manager on 01249 445115 ext 7 or ssorell@northwiltscab.org.uk for further information about our training programme and volunteering at the bureau.
