Community Advice and Training Lead

Salary: £28,123 per annum
Hours: Full-time (37 hours per week)
Contract: Fixed term to March 2026, with potential to extend
Location: Hove Town Hall and community venues across Brighton & Hove.

Role Purpose: To deliver high-quality Advice First Aid training to community workers and volunteers, provide up-to-date advice briefings, and develop a strong, confident network of Advice First Aiders embedded in community settings across Brighton & Hove. The role also includes occasional direct advice provision and the opportunity to shape a growing programme.

Citizens Advice Brighton & Hove is seeking a dynamic and engaging individual to take forward our Advice First Aid programme—training and supporting people in community settings to recognise advice needs early, offer immediate support, and signpost confidently.

You’ll play a vital role in embedding early intervention across the city, particularly in partnership with the Beyond Foodbanks project, which equips volunteers at foodbanks to support people at their first point of contact. You’ll also help build a peer learning network, develop resources, and—if our funding bids are successful—help expand this citywide service and potentially grow a team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in advice or community development, a flair for facilitation, and a passion for building community confidence in tackling poverty and inequality.
