We are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic Visiting Officer to join the Dartford and Sevenoaks Revenues & Benefits shared service, which is Homeworking and Sevenoaks District Council based.

• To undertake regular trawl visits of Council Tax discounted properties and void Business Rate properties
• To monitor construction of new domestic and commercial developments, recording progress and issuing completion notices at the appropriate time

The successful candidate will preferably have experience of working in a Revenues & Benefits environment or a similar customer-facing environment.
