The purpose of the independent adviser post is to provide a direct casework service to clients referred by the Council, as well as advice and guidance to the housing options team, and other relevant officers employed by the Council, with the aim of increasing both applicant satisfaction and sustainable housing outcomes for people in Flintshire.
