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 poverty here in the UK. Please read below for more information — we’re excited to hear from you!
We’re on a mission to set people in our nation free from a life sentence of debt, poverty and their causes. All of our services, including Debt Centres, Job Clubs, and Life Skills, are run through local churches. This means we can offer our clients not only expert practical support, but companionship, hope and a chance to hear the Gospel.
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 can involve working with vulnerable people, you’ll need to have a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you’re working in England, Wales or Northern Ireland this should be an Enhanced Disclosure. 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.

Equip is the name of CAP’s training course for all Debt Centre, Job Clubs and Life Skills coaches and managers. The training course runs over five weeks and is delivered online. In large, the training can be completed flexibly as most of it is independent work to be completed in your own time (pre recorded videos, reading material and quizzes). However, you will also have the opportunity to access live sessions complete with wonderful introductory talks, worship and prayer, Q&A opportunities and a chance to ‘meet the expert’. Please note that live sessions are optional and will be recorded, so there is no pressure to attend them all live.
Job Clubs & Life Skills Equip training
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 would love for you to join your regional team for at least one of these.
