Thank you very much for thinking about volunteering as an Advisor for Citizens Advice. Advisor training is currently being delivered remotely by Citizen Advice Somerset, via our Somerset Training Academy, which prepares advisors to help clients from all over the county on behalf of the 5 Somerset Citizens Advice offices. Once qualified, cohorts of advisors remain as a team and, with support, work from home on our county wide telephone service. An individual advisor might later choose to transfer to a local office to deliver face to face advice (when this resumes) or to take on a particular role that exists there.
