Minimum contract is 2 years – February 2027 to February 2029. Extension subject to funding.
The Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre in Coventry helps people experiencing financial difficulties by providing practical budgeting guidance, expert debt advice and ongoing support. We are looking to appoint a Debt Coach to deliver CAP’s high-quality debt advice service and support clients on their journey towards greater financial stability and freedom from debt.
A vehicle is essential – home visits are part of the role.
This role has a genuine occupational requirement to be a practising Christian, ensuring the project’s objective of advancing the Christian faith.
The role requires significant training to be undertaken, so candidates must be able to commit to the role.
Following training from the CAP Support Hub and the Coventry Debt Centre, the successful candidate will walk alongside clients with compassion and care. Responsibilities will include gathering relevant financial information and paperwork, preparing household budgets, and explaining and presenting the professional debt advice prepared by CAP’s Debt Advisors. The role has evangelism at its heart, offering opportunities to share the love and hope of Jesus with clients who are open to exploring faith. The successful candidate will be expected to share their testimony and communicate the gospel sensitively and appropriately, alongside providing compassionate, practical support to help clients to move towards a life free from debt.
Do you have a heart for people experiencing poverty, the ability to connect with others and understand their challenges, and a desire to share the love and hope of Jesus with families across Coventry? Would you love to make a real difference by walking alongside people, helping them find a way out of debt and move towards a brighter financial future? If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
