Citizens Advice Scotland offers excellent terms and conditions. We want our people to have a great work life balance and we have designed our working practices and benefits to support this. Here are some of things our employees benefit from: a 35-hour full time working week, 40 days annual leave, genuine flexibility in working hours with a flexi-time system, and hybrid working opportunities for every role. For more details of some of the other benefits on offer to our employees, please see the section on employee benefits in the job pack.

Citizens Advice Scotland is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies and flexible working arrangements to support all our staff. We are also committed to equality of opportunity for all and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.

CAS provides options for hybrid working to allow employees to balance their time attending the office with time working from home. The number of days you will be able to work from home each week will be dependent on your job role and can be discussed as part of the recruitment process.

Our aim is to ensure our application assessment process is fair, objective and transparent.

As such, please do not include on your CV or candidate statement the following information: your address, a photo, hobbies, age, date of birth, marital status, nationality.

The candidate statement plays a very important part in the application assessment process. It is a free space for you to showcase your skills, practical knowledge, and experiences relevant to the role.

Please include in your statement examples which demonstrate how you meet the following key essential and desirable criteria emphasising your contribution and outcomes. Please also let us know how your values and attributes align with CAS’s values. Please refer to Our People Charter.

> Demonstrable knowledge and understanding of finance systems and processes, including payroll.

> Be accurate, methodical, logical and have great attention to detail.

> Good judgement and ability to manage own workload whilst remaining alert to the need to consult with and update colleagues and senior staff as appropriate.

> Experience in using Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Excel (including VLOOKUP and Pivot Tables), Word and MS Teams.

> Considerable experience working in a similar finance or payroll role.

The candidate statement is expected to be maximum 1000 words/2x pages A4.

Please note that applications without the candidate statement and not following clearly above instructions will not be considered.

You have the option to upload your candidate statement as a separate document or you can write your candidate statement in the section below. Please choose the option that best work for you.

While we recognize AI can be a helpful tool for starting your application, and may help you by sparking an idea more easily than starting with a blank page, we really want you to show in your application who you are and how you think. AI will never replace the important human element at the application stage. Please make sure that you write your candidate statement yourself.

If you require any support in submitting your application, including reasonable adjustments in terms of an application format or you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email us at recruitment@cas.org.uk or give us a call on 0131 550 1000. We are always happy to help.
