Revenues Officer - Business RatesCouncil

An exciting opportunity is available to join our busy Revenues Team

The successful candidate will administer Business Rates by providing accurate advice to businesses and their agents regarding liability and relief entitlement and take effective and timely action to recover unpaid Business Rates and Council Tax.

We are looking for an individual with experience of dealing with customers, managing caseloads, interpreting policies or legislation, and making informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.

We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate strong transferable skills and a willingness to learn. Experience of using the Civica OpenRevenues system would also be beneficial, although full training will be provided.
