Additionally, you will produce Personal Budget Reconciliation statements as necessary, providing assurance to both vulnerable individuals and professionals that the Council's charges for the services rendered are correct.

This role demands an individual dedicated to a customer-centric approach, meticulous attention to detail in their work, and a demonstrated ability to adjust communication styles to cater to the diverse range of clients supported by the Council.

You will possess an excellent telephone manner, together with strong I.T. and numeracy skills with accuracy and the ability to adapt to changing priorities in your workload.

Previous experience of working in a similar type of role is desirable but not essential, providing you can demonstrate you have the key skills needed.

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.

Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
**Work Together as one team - **work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do

**Drive Efficiency - **show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential

**Be Ambitious - **be demanding of our own performance - striving to be even better - and be prepared to engage with and challenge leaders in a constructive and positive way

**Make a Difference to Reading - **maintain the highest levels of customer service and be flexible and willing to provide the services needed at the time they are needed

**Our offer**
We offer a supportive environment to grow and develop your career with the opportunity to put your ideas across. Innovation and ambition is strongly encouraged, and you’ll get a great feel for that, working in our friendly and collaborative environment.
