An exciting, fixed term opportunity has arisen within the Payments Team to appoint a career graded development role as a Payments Officer (Specialist) working within a data and numbers driven environment.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and self‑motivated individual to join our high‑achieving Payments Team who are responsible for all aspects of Payments across the Council and collection and management of debt.

• Processing of financial data and invoicing
• Running and analysing reports

Previous financial administrative experience is desirable, though we are primarily looking for the right candidate with clear passion to be able to deliver the expectations of the job summary, a drive to learn and an ability to work on their own initiative.
