We’re recruiting for a Financial Inclusion Champion. Are you interested in applying? Here’s some information about the post, and you can download the application pack.
The national Financial Inclusion Champions programme is intended to take forward the work of the Now Let’s Talk Money campaign, and is managed by the DWP as part of the Government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy and Financial Inclusion Fund.
The Financial Inclusion Champions in London will work across the region, and into the Thames Gateway, to build and coordinate partnerships to promote financial inclusion. In particular they will aim to stimulate the demand for, and in some cases increase the supply of, basic financial services for financially excluded people.
All Champions will work together in order to support the government’s financial inclusion policy.
Community Links is leading the development of the champions programme across East and parts of North London. This may also include some work in the Thames Gateway. The champion will work with senior stakeholders working at a local level to develop and promote financial inclusion services.
The partnership acknowledges that the work covers large geographical areas, and the team will strategically focus its work in priority areas, using a range of financial exclusion research as the basis.
