You may be based in one of several locations, we have a Customer Service Centre right in the heart of the city; Friargate - a large purpose built office by the train station along with several reception points across the city.

Joining Customer Services is a really good stepping stone into a long term career with the Council, depending on the role you are offered you will learn about other parts of the organisation

What is the job role?
**We have 1x Fixed Term Fulltime role. This fixed term contract will be until 31st March 2024.**

The Community Support Team was established to assist households initially through the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently the cost-of-living crisis.

The team has evolved since then, now contacting customers that have asked for help; understanding their circumstances and helping them to solve issues - this may mean arranging for food bank assistance, signposting to local community groups, signing up for online deliveries, or referring for longer-term support.

**Your duties will include**:

- Training new starters.
- Providing support to team members around complex cases and situations and individual financial circumstances.
- Producing and maintaining process guides.
- Updating the team with system and process changes, at times providing in depth face to face training where needed.
- Liaising with managers around feedback from the team, specifically around processes and systems.
- Managing inboxes and allocating work, to ensure timescales are maintained.
- Face to Face contact with customers to resolve issues, where other forms of communication prove difficult

**We would expect you to have**:

- In depth knowledge of the Household Support Fund.
- The ability to make quick and independent decisions based on the information available.
- Experience of dealing with members of the public, including vulnerable, challenging, and difficult people.

We will use this interview to assess your English fluency as set out in part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016. We have a duty to ensure our employees have the necessary standard of spoken English in all public sector customer facing roles.

If you would like to find out more about the role or have any questions, please approach Nicole Lane for an informal chat on 02476 977524.
