The main duties of the post involve working in a processing team responsible for the administration and recovery of Council Tax based on the relevant legislation. Maintaining accurate records and providing a high level of customer service are key attributes required for this role.

It is desirable for the applicant to have experience and knowledge of working as part of a team processing Council Tax correspondence. Alternatively, it is expected the applicant will have a background working in a finance related environment. Training will be provided to the successful applicant(s).

The post holder(s) will have the opportunity to work in the office or adopt a hybrid approach between home and office. This will be following completion of the classroom based training and subsequent support provided during a period of approximately 10 weeks based in the office.

This post is subject to a Basic Disclosure check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
