You will need to demonstrate a knowledge of relevant legislation and recovery procedures. You will, however, need to be self-motivated and an effective team player, with excellent customer care, communication and IT skills.
The post holder will have dealings with the public and may conduct face to face interviews in the office. However the majority of the contact with the public will be over the telephone both on-site and from home or in writing. You will also be required to draft/respond to queries from Councillors/MP’s and members of the public, who are distraught or aggrieved, via the Council’s complaints procedure.
The nature of the work requires the ability to use your own initiative and to organise workloads in order to respond to various pressures within the section. The successful candidate will also be required to provide information relating to complex cases for Management to consider recommended action. You may also be required to provide administrative support to the Right to Buy and Leasehold Officers.
