The Role
As an Advice and Information Officer you will be based primarily in the Area office but will spend some of your time getting out and about into the community, running outreach sessions designed to provide advice and information about all aspects of the Legion’s work for those living in Leeds and West Yorkshire.

Accustomed to providing advice and information support to customers, you’ll have an understanding of statutory welfare provision and experience of building relationships with a range of different agencies. An excellent communicator with an outgoing personality and strong organisational and planning skills, you will also need good IT skills and be confident in supporting our beneficiaries.

It is essential that you have an empathy with the UK armed forces community and some knowledge and understanding of this area would also be an advantage.

There maybe a requirement for travel across the West Yorkshire area; therefore, a full driving licence and use of a car is desirable for this role.
