Benefits and Contributions Adviser

2 weeks ago

York, York City, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time £25,000 - £35,000 per year

The Income Services Team has an exciting vacancy for a Benefits and Contributions Adviser. If you are looking for a challenge, we are an exceptionally busy team providing welfare benefits advice and claims support, as well as having responsibility for determining customer contributions for social care through our financial assessment process.

Our ideal candidate will be capable of lone working and managing their daily diary. You will have experience or knowledge of either welfare benefits, social care financial assessments or both, although full training will be provided.

The role involves providing information and advice to customers, many of whom are vulnerable, through several channels including home visits, and gathering information to undertake financial assessments in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and City of York Council policy.

This is a Hybrid role. From time to time, you may be required to provide benefits advice talks in community settings, and you may be required to be in the office to provide benefits advice via our helpline, to the residents of York.

Offering great customer service, you will be part of a wider team supporting front line adult and children's social care teams, income collection and the management of client's affairs.

This role is suitable as a job share opportunity.

The postholder will have access to secure government sites or email. In order to use these systems, the Cabinet Office requires the HR Team to carry out Baseline Personnel Standard Security (BPSS) checks.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition, we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
