About Opportunity

Glasgow Central is the oldest Citizens’ Advice Bureau in the United Kingdom. We have achieved this by being pro-active and providing a robust advice and information service to the residents and those who work in the Glasgow City Council Area. This pivotal role is delivered by a committed, dedicated and energetic team of Voluntary General and Specialist Advisers. We provide a service second to none and our funding comes from a variety of sources. This does not influence the advice we give which is free, independent and non-judgemental. Our Bureau attempts to recruit 4 intakes per year of new entrants for training towards becoming a General Adviser. Our next intake is expected to be in January 2012. This role is challenging and extremely rewarding. It takes approximately 13 weeks to complete the training, committing yourself to one day per week. During week 8 there is a full week of classroom work. It is our intention is to have 4 intakes of 10 per year. Advising is generally done on a face-to-face basis, however it is our intention to boost our telephone and internet services and you can reflect your preferences on the application form. For more information about us and the services we provide look at our web site which you can access on the right hand side in the contact details box. If you feel you can rise to this challenge, devote the time, commitment and energy helping others, then register your interest and we will get a form out to you.
