Are you an ambitious benefits professional looking for a new challenge? For the right person, this is an exciting opportunity to join a small and dynamic in house team, where you will get involved in all aspects of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support assessments including new claims, DHPs and appeals.

You will have extensive experience of using benefits software, preferably Academy systems, as well as experience of using a document management system.
This is a challenging and rewarding role for a highly motivated individual who enjoys working as part of a dedicated team and takes pride in delivering first class service.
