Are you an experienced administrator looking for a new challenge? We have an exciting opportunity to join our small and dynamic in house team, where you will get involved in all aspects of administrative support to the Housing Benefit, Council Tax, Business Rates, Recovery and Technical teams.

The successful candidate will have sound knowledge and proven experience, of using a document management system and all Microsoft Office products, particularly Excel. The right person will also possess excellent written and verbal communication skills and be a good organiser able to meet set deadlines in a changing and pressurised environment.

This is a rewarding role for a highly motivated individual who enjoys working as part of a dedicated team and takes pride in delivering first class service.

You will benefit from 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years’ service), subsidised gym membership and car parking, and an entitlement to join the local government pension scheme.

This is an office-based role which does not lend itself to home working. Contracted hours can be agreed from a minimum of 20 hours up to 25 hours per week, across 5 days.

If this sounds like the ideal opportunity for you, we look forward to receiving your application. For further details please contact Tracey Dolton, Benefit Team Leader [email removed]
