Money advisers help people whose debts have become too large or difficult for them to handle.
A common way into this career is to volunteer in an advice centre. You'll often start by giving general advice, then get special training in money advice once you have more experience. It usually takes at least a year to get enough experience and knowledge to apply for paid work as a money adviser.
It may be possible to apply directly to employers if you have some of the relevant skills and knowledge required for this role. It will be useful to have experience in other areas like: consumer advice, welfare rights or work debt recovery for a bank, council, utility company or similar organisation. Most employers will not ask for qualifications as your experience would be the most important thing. But you should have a reasonable standard of English and feel comfortable with maths. Your employer may ask you to do additional specialist training.
You can do a Level 3 Certificate and Diploma in Money and Debt Advice through the Chartered Institute of Credit Management. For some jobs, it may be an advantage if you speak a minority community language.
You may find it useful to join organisations like the Institute of Money Advisers, for professional recognition, training opportunities and to make industry contacts.
