Check out this page for opportunities to get involved with the work of Wincanton Cares as we grow our offer and reach to support as many of those in need as possible. We are about connecting people with what they need and welcome others to join us on this journey.
Are you looking for a role you can shape around your life? Do you want to make a real difference in Wincanton and its surrounding parishes?
Wincanton Cares is recruiting a Benefits Officer to build on the work of our current post-holder and help older, vulnerable residents across the BA9 postcode area access the financial support they’re entitled to.
We believe that the future of care lies in local solutions. By supporting residents to claim benefits such as Attendance Allowance, Carers’ Allowance, Pension Credit, Blue Badge applications, and charitable grants, we empower them to purchase the support they need; stimulating our rural economy and strengthening community wellbeing.
