Caseworkers
DAWN Advice principally employs telephone advice Caseworkers operating in the following categories of law:- Debt, Housing, Employment and Welfare Benefits. Although there are no immediate Caseworker vacancies, we continually review our staffing levels. As a result of this review process, there is a possibility that further posts may be advertised.

Future applicants will :

  • Have an understanding of social welfare issues – experience in any one of the specific areas listed above is advantageous.
  • Relevant qualifications in law may be beneficial but are not essential. As category specific training is provided, the ability and enthusiasm to further develop necessary skills within a supportive and innovative team is more important.
  • Have experience in handling difficult or complex situations over the telephone.
  • Have basic administration skills to supplement the casework requirements.
  • Be able to demonstrate the ability to provide exceptional customer service.
