Our Leasehold & Right to Buy Services (LRTBS) is changing to enable the team to fully meet evolving customer needs including the delivery of 1,800 new leasehold homes across the borough. This is an exciting and challenging time for the team to extend its knowledge and skills and provide customers with an excellent service. It is also an ideal time for you to join us.
We are looking for well organised officers with sound financial and analytical skills, to ensure the accurate and timely billing of charges including service charges, major works, reserve fund and shared ownership rent whilst increasing customer satisfaction.
With housing in London under extreme pressure, billing accurately and maximising our income are important ways of improving services. We need people with a good eye for detail who can demonstrate they will achieve performance targets while working accurately and effectively.

You should have a leasehold or finance background with good customer focus and attention to detail. You will need good knowledge of relevant housing legislation and financial practices. To thrive in this role you will need a flexible approach and be able to work well under pressure.
