Transactions Officer
Waverley Court

Salary: £29,173 - £33,287
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join Customer and Digital Services as a Transactions Officer. The role is within our Assessment and Finance Team.

The successful candidate will be involved in processing a wide range of Welfare Benefits that are administered by City of Edinburgh Council on behalf of Department for Works and Pensions, Scottish Government and Social Security Scotland. These will include:

  • Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction
  • Discretionary Housing Payment
  • Free School Meals and Clothing Grants
  • Education Maintenance Allowance

We are looking for someone who is methodical, detail oriented, able to break down, complex legislation and deal with multiple processes. Ideally you will have good knowledge of Welfare Benefits.

We are looking for candidates with excellent communication skills, a positive attitude and ability to learn and adapt quickly. If you think you have those skills, we will welcome an application from you.

This post is subject to Basic Disclosure check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our">https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/work-us/behaviours">Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
