About the Role
This is a dynamic and influential role at the heart of adult social care and finance, where your work genuinely makes a difference every day. Acting as a trusted link between Adults & Communities, Finance Operations, providers and partner teams, you’ll help ensure payments, data and decisions are accurate, ethical and centred on the people who rely on our services.
You’ll use your insight and problem‑solving skills to untangle complex payment and charging queries, review and correct support plans, and respond confidently to provider and portal enquiries. Going beyond resolving issues, you’ll empower others — coaching colleagues and providers, promoting self‑support, and helping teams find sustainable solutions that get things right first time.
This role is also about shaping better ways of working. You’ll identify patterns behind payment errors, contribute to process improvements, and support responses to concerns or complaints. With safeguarding, compliance and data protection at the heart of everything you do, you’ll help deliver a high‑quality, accountable statutory service that balances financial integrity with compassionate, person‑centred care.
