You will also lead on liaising, coordinating and assessing the service charge information obtained from other departments within the Council, ensuring that the preparation of service charges is in accordance with the lease and relevant legislation. Communication within and outside of the team will also be critical and the successful candidate must have the ability to spot potential issues and to address them, communicating with others effectively so that problems are dealt with quickly and effectively.
