The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) assists people who are over-indebted and need help and advice in coping with debt problems. The role of money advisers is to help clients to assess their financial situation, make a budget plan and deal with creditors. MABS undertake recruitment as vacancies arise in their services, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Vacancies are generally advertised on the MABS website as well as locally. All appointments are subject to funding being available. One such temporary post to cover a planned leave of absence will be advertised shortly. There are no plans for recruitment at a national level.
