Council Tax
Due to increased workloads an opportunity has arisen to recruit two Revenues Officer posts in the Council Tax team on a 2-year fixed term contract basis, working on Preston correspondence.
This is a great team, whose responsibility for the collection of council tax promptly and efficiently is crucial to the Council, given current budgetary pressures.
Duties include:
- Dealing with customer correspondence and information from other sources in relation to the administration, billing and collection of Council Tax.
- Work as part of a team administering recovery procedures and attend Magistrates Court as required.
- Maintenance of an online computerised system, including the verification and processing of applications for exemption / discount and disregards for Council Tax.
We are looking for enthusiastic self-motivated people who can manage their own workload, to join this small but successful team. Communication skills and a customer care attitude are considered a necessity for this post. Academy systems are used for processing information and NEC/Enterprise document management system is utilised. Hybrid working is optional.
As an employer we like to thank our employees for their hard word and commitment by giving them the opportunity to access a range of employee benefits including flexi time, hybrid working, a minimum of 25 days' annual leave (plus bank holidays), family friendly policies, access to an Employee Assistance Programme, Local Government Pension Scheme, AVC's, life assurance scheme, discounted parking, bus and rail fares and a cycle to work scheme.
We are a Disability Confident employer.
