Three local Citizens Advice organisations (Canterbury, Swale and Thanet) that serve communities across east and north Kent have formally merged to create a stronger, more resilient organisation offering vital advice, advocacy and insight for people facing hardship. The newly merged Citizens Advice group, called CANEK (Citizens Advice North East Kent) brings together the expertise, volunteers and staff of Swale, Thanet and Canterbury, increasing capacity to respond to rising demand and deepening its impact across the region. Together, the communities served by the new organisation encompass a population of over 466,000 people, spanning urban, coastal and rural areas across three local authority districts.![]()
CANEK will unify services across this diverse geography, ensuring that everyone - regardless of age, background, location or income - can access the free, confidential advice they need to help with issues including benefits, debt, housing, employment rights, and discrimination.![]()
Deprivation levels across many parts of the area we serve are significantly above national averages, particularly in coastal communities where structural socio-economic challenges persist.![]()
By joining forces, the organisation will be better equipped to:![]()
• Expand frontline support for people facing issues with benefits, housing, debt and employment![]()
• Amplify local evidence and insight that informs national and local decision-making![]()
• Strengthen outreach to people who struggle to access services, including those who are digitally excluded or under 25![]()
• Work closely with partners, funders and elected representatives to improve systems that affect people’s lives![]()
As part of this transition, CANEK is seeking a Finance Manager to play a key role in shaping the financial future of the newly merged organisation. We would like to hear from people who would like to work in a charity making a meaningful difference to the lives of people in Kent who can demonstrate a strong track record of managing a finance team, producing budgets, management accounts, cash flow forecasts and financial reports in accordance with charity reporting good practice.
