Where appropriate, you will follow up initial support with detailed written communication, so you will need exceptional attention to detail and strong research skills, as well as an engaging and sympathetic personality.

As a Team Manager with National Debtline you will have the responsibility of managing and coaching a team of 9 Money Advisers.
