Making Digital Advice Work (360G-SCVO-a11b000000DFqXUAA1)

Making Digital Advice Work will see a Digital Advice & Training Officer focus on empowering local communities to access the digital environment and complete welfare benefits forms, in particular the forthcoming universal credit applications. The project will assist clients of all ages, ethnicities, capabilities and cultures to overcome their fear of completing online benefit forms and to learn for themselves how to best navigate their own digital devices in 1:1 and group sessions, and also to facilitate clients to use the Bureau's training room on a drop-in basis twice-weekly where they will receive support needed in this context. The project will be delivered in the Maryhill & Possilpark areas of north west Glasgow. The new post will be directly accountable to the chief officer.

Recipient Org: Description Maryhill & Possilpark Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is an independent, local charitable organisation which in 2016 celebrates 35 years of excellent service to individuals in need in the Maryhill/Kelvin & Canal Ward communities, some of which are the most deprived in Scotland and Western Europe. We provide free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information. We ensure that individuals do not suffer through lack of knowledge of their rights and responsibilities, or of the services available to them, or through an inability to express need effectively. Our clients are empowered to influence social policy and services, locally and nationally. In 35 years our work has covered over 500,000 issues, representation of clients at over 2,000 Welfare Rights and Employment Tribunals, and over £20m in client financial gains. Our commitment is to increase access to advice and information to the 38,000 individuals we serve via 1:1 and innovative delivery channels.
