Financial Mentors/Budget Advisers
Ref: #00660
The Budget Advisory Service in Taranaki provides a free, confidential and non-judgmental, one to one assistance for their clients. This is in consultation rooms throughout North Taranaki. Volunteer Financial Mentors/Advisers can assist in preparing a household budget, work to reach agreements with creditors, provide information about banks and accounts, and much more. Full training for all these positions is definitely part of these very special positions, as well as ongoing training every year volunteers are able to increase their skills in areas such as consumer rights, insolvency law and identifying addictions – and all this while receiving the satisfaction of helping people who are in real need of support. Volunteers are being sought to commence training for this important and rewarding work. As a volunteer you will receive a comprehensive initial training of approx. 30 – 40 over a period of weeks in a supportive environment and you will work with a friendly team of experienced, skilled advisers. The benefit of these roles is that they are flexible, so it can work around the hours that you have available. So if you are reading this and thinking - "I could do this!", and you have spare time available then I would encourage you to make contact.
