About you

 

You will be required to maintain Council Tax, Business Rates and Business Improvement District (BID) accounts.  This work will involve liaising with internal and external account holders and organisations to ensure that accounts are kept up to date, whilst maintaining a high standard of customer service.

We also welcome applications from people who have worked in similar data processing roles, for example within the Civil Service, tax, insurance, banking or debt agency industry. 

 

You will have the following attributes: 

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability and confidence to deal with a wide range of customers and work well with other team members and services
• Effective organisational skills 
• Ability to work accurately to deadline
• Ability to work flexibly to support the team’s core work and other objectives
• Experience of using office I.T applications including Microsoft Office.

 

Once in post, the successful candidate will be provided with full training and support which will be delivered by a mix of in-person and remote learning.
