Hackney is one of the most dynamic and progressive local authorities in the UK. We are a resilient, vibrant, and creative borough in the heart of London, with strong, diverse communities and a powerful set of shared values.

We are looking for a dedicated Leasehold Consultation and Billing Officer to join our Consultation and Billing Team at Hackney Council. This role is crucial in ensuring accurate and timely invoicing for major works, providing top-notch customer service to our residents, and maintaining compliance with statutory S20 processes.

In this position, you will collaborate with colleagues to calculate major works service charges and produce accurate interim and actual invoices for leaseholders. You'll prepare and issue Section 20 notices for various schemes, ensuring adherence to legislation and local procedures. Your professionalism and clarity will be key as you address inquiries and complaints from residents, delivering a high-quality customer experience.

You'll also maintain and update the major works database, ensuring all customer accounts are accurate and reconciled. Your essential financial administration skills will support the successful delivery of Homeownership Services.

We offer opportunities for professional development and the chance to engage with the community, making a positive impact on the lives of our residents. You'll work within a supportive team that values your input and expertise, fostering a collaborative environment.

We're looking for someone with strong attention to detail and accuracy in financial calculations, as well as effective communication skills to convey complex information clearly to diverse audiences. A proactive, team-oriented mindset is essential as you contribute to our goals.

It's one of the most sought after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities, as well as great transport links and vibrant and diverse communities.

We understand the benefits of using AI in the workplace. However, if you are thinking of using this tool to submit your application, we ask you to think about what value it will add.

We are also working towards our vision, which is to be a place for everyone; where residents and staff can be proud. In order to achieve this, we are seeking individuals who embody our "PROUD" values: Purpose and Respect, where we foster belonging through active inclusion, kindness, and open dialogue; Ownership, where we champion proactive collaboration and accountability for our shared success; and Unity and Diversity, where we work as one Council to break down silos and champion anti-racist behaviour.

Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.

The Council has a dedicated employment support service (Hackney Works), which offers Hackney residents guidance in relation to applying for jobs. If you are thinking about applying for a job, please contact the Hackney Works team to find out what support is available: hackneyworks@hackney.gov.uk
