Thank you so much for considering joining us as a CAP Debt Centre Manager. This is your opportunity to join a rapidly growing movement of people who are working together to tackle one of the biggest social problems facing us today. We’re so excited for you to join the family!
We’re on a mission to set people in our nation free from a life sentence of debt, poverty and their causes. Our 618 services, including Debt Centres, Job Clubs, Fresh Start and Life Skills groups, are all run through local churches, meaning we can offer our clients not only expert practical support, but companionship, hope and a chance to hear the gospel too.
At our core, we’re:
All CAP’s services are run through local churches to engage and support people in their communities. CAP Debt Centres provide practical and holistic support for people struggling with debt, as well as offering them the opportunity to hear the Gospel. Hear from some of our existing debt centre staff and other service managers below about why they love what they do!
Your role as a CAP Debt Centre Manager will be to set up and manage the running of the debt centre in partnership with CAP and your church. You will support clients on their journey to becoming debt free through home visits and ongoing support. All of this must be done in a way that positively reflects the Christian faith and the core values of the charity.
The minimum time commitment is 16 hours per week, comprising four sessions of four consecutive hours, with at least two sessions being within normal working hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Because this role may involve working with vulnerable people, you’ll need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you’re working in England, Wales or Northern Ireland this should be an Enhanced Disclosure with an Adult Barred List check. This check is required as you may occasionally be carrying out regulated activity. For staff based in Scotland, it should be a Basic Disclosure. Your church will need to apply for and fund this.
We ask you to commit to a minimum of two years in this role due to the level of specialised training required and the time it takes to complete.
Please note, as part of this role, we ask that you have access to the internet and an active email address.
This bit’s just the facts and formalities – excuse us for going all official on you! It’s basically a breakdown of what you’ll need to ace this role.

Training is residential and is held at our head office in Bradford. It’s run over two blocks: the first block spans an evening and two full days and the second block spans three full days – they’re approximately four to six weeks apart and must be completed in full. There’s also one additional day of regional training to be completed within the first year of your initial training.
We’ll provide accommodation, meals and all training materials whilst you are training with us.
Please note, our training course forms part of our selection process. Although very rare, we do reserve the right to withdraw the offer of any role should any issues arise at training.
We hold two annual conferences – they’re a brilliant opportunity for us to come together to worship God, connect with other CAP workers and be re-inspired by our vision. As part of your role we ask that you join us for at least one of those.
We also hold two Regional Team Days a year – these are organised by your CAP Area Manager and are an opportunity for you to connect with others working with CAP in your region. Again, we ask that you attend both of these.
This is your chance to tell us who you are! What’s in your heart? What are your passions? What makes you tick? We love meeting new people and we’re excited to get to know you better! You’ll find the link to your application form in the original email.
