Debt Advisor Review

My role involves supporting unemployed people with their debts and helping them arrange payment plans, sometimes wipe off debt and give advice and guidance on budgeting.

I have learnt lots about coaching and how coaching works, which models are good for different situations and I have also learnt a lot about money and pensions and debt advice and guidance.

I'm really enjoying it - I am learning a lot that will help me in my current role and will also help me develop personally and progress within my career too.

It is structured well. The workshops are very good, but don't always match what you're asked in the consolidation for each unit, which is annoying, but just means I have to spend more time doing my own reading and research.

I get support in that I am left alone to get on with my work and am able to attend workshops with no issues, and L&D have helped me source another coachee which is great, but my immediate manager has no clue what I am doing really.

I get support via the workshops, and my personal Tutor is on hand to answer questions via Bud or email when needed, but she has had little input so far. I have just cracked on and ask for help when needed.

I coach people on a daily basis with life and work skills, so there are always opportunities to use the skills learned. It has also been good for me to learn more about myself too.

There are lots of different webinars you can join, such as Lunch and Learn talks about various subjects and the Leadership Big Conversations, which are a great way to develop leadership skills and share ideas with colleagues. My role is remote, so it is all online.

Yes

The company is putting a lot of work into being a great place to work which is noticeable and I feel valued within my role and in my team and I get paid well for what I do.

Be prepared to be accountable, often self-manage, be prepared to work hard and avoid office politics. You can still be a team player without getting involved in office politics.
