Are you an experienced administrator with a background in debt recovery, housing, revenues or benefits? Do you have excellent customer service skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage complex cases while delivering positive outcomes? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

At Folkestone & Hythe District Council, we're looking for a proactive and customer-focused Housing Income & Corporate Debt Officer to join our Finance team. In this varied and rewarding role, you'll help maximise the collection of income owed to the council, support residents experiencing financial difficulties, and contribute to the delivery of high-quality services that make a real difference to our local community.

  • Deal with insolvencies, breathing space cases and other time-sensitive correspondence.
  • Prepare cases for further recovery action, including court proceedings where appropriate.
  • This is a hybrid role, which requires a minimum office presence of one day per week in our Civic Centre offices in Folkestone. The successful applicant will be provided with full training, which will require an increased office presence in the training period.
About you
We're looking for candidates who can demonstrate:
  • Good standard of education including Maths and English, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Recent experience in an administrative role within a debt recovery, housing, revenues or benefits environment.
  • Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to interpret legislation, policies and procedures and apply them to individual cases.
  • A professional, customer-focused approach.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and meet deadlines.
  • High levels of accuracy and attention to detail.
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Why join us?

  • Up to 31 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Flexi-time scheme, birthday leave and Christmas office closure.
  • Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
