Improving financial wellbeing and building resilience

We are looking for dedicated Supporting People Caseworkers to join our team. This is an opportunity to support people facing financial challenges, helping them access services, overcome barriers and work towards greater stability and independence.
Working as part of a supportive and collaborative environment, you will engage with individuals experiencing a range of circumstances and help them access practical support tailored to their needs. You will also work closely with colleagues and partner organisations to help ensure people receive coordinated and timely assistance.
Why Join the Hull Money Team?
