Universal Credit, Universal Help. (360G-SCVO-a0gb000001KQdOZAA1)

We aim to have a dedicated Universal Credit Champion who will have two strands to their position: 1 - provide a new specialist service in the Bureau by delivering independent, impartial, free and confidential advice and support to residents of the Clydesdale area who find themselves being entitled to Universal credit, either as a new claim or a change in circumstances. We will also be offering this service to our own client base or those that are referred to us by other local organisations. We will do this by offering an appointments based system throughout the drop in service in Lanark and we will also look to offer the service within our 7 outreaches which are centred in some of the more isolated, outlaying villages in the Clydesdale area. Our outreaches are in Douglas, Rigside, Biggar, Coalburn, Crawford and two primary schools, Lesmahagow Primary and Woodpark primary. 2 - provide Universal Credit workshops to local organisations, whose front line workers will be dealing with groups who will be in receipt of Universal Credit or will be making an application for Universal Credit.
