A little bit about what we are looking for...
We’re seeking a dedicated Service Charge Officer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for managing the full Service Charge cycle with a focus on accuracy, transparency, and resident satisfaction.

We embrace the future of work with our hybrid working model, offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately 2-3 days per week in the office with the remainder being from the comfort of your own home. However bear in mind during your probation and training, we may request more office presence to ensure you feel fully supported and equipped for success. Your well-being and confidence in your role are paramount to us, and we're committed to providing the flexibility you need to excel. Of course if you'd prefer to be in the office more, then that is completely fine with us too

  • Financial Reporting: Handle month-end accruals and prepayments.
  • Customer Communication: Ensure all service charges are communicated clearly and transparently to residents.
  • Cost Review and Adjustments: Work with other teams to review costs, calculate year-end adjustments, collaborate with auditors, update tenant accounts, and mail information to residents.
  • Scheme Management: Manage a portfolio of schemes, regularly visit them, and assist residents with service charge queries.
  • Support and Collaboration: Support Neighbourhood Coordinators with service charge queries and work collaboratively with Housing Teams, Charge Management Teams, Estate Teams, and Home Ownership Teams to deliver a customer-focused service.
  • Compliance: Ensure compliance with service charge legislation and best practices.
