You'll bring experience of quality and compliance frameworks, strong stakeholder management skills, and a genuine commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. Experience within the advice or not-for-profit sector is desirable, alongside a strong commitment to the values and principles of the Citizens Advice service.
