Budget Manager

As an employee in budget management you stabilize and manage the income and expenses of residents who are unable to do so themselves. In this way you help households out of financial problems and prevent clients from relapsing into their old behavior. You guide clients towards financial independence. And you work together with the customer with the aim of giving the customer (again) insight and control over their own financial situation, so that in the future they can manage their financial household independently and without debts. To carry out the management, you will be in contact with the client in various ways. You identify underlying problems and maintain contact with creditors and assistance agencies. Where necessary you will refer the client. 

You prepare budget plans in consultation with clients and record their details in the computerized system. You take care of the payment of living expenses, fixed expenses, reservations and variable expenses on behalf of the client. In addition, you hold discussions with clients about daily financial problems and discuss the possibilities of eventually managing their income independently again. You prepare clients to manage their financial household independently and provide information about existing material and immaterial facilities, referring them to specialized assistance institutions if necessary. In addition, you provide budget training to groups.
