We have an exciting opportunity for a Business Rates Officer to join our Revenues Team. This is a challenging but rewarding role; annual legislative changes require you to be flexible and able to adapt to changing demands. You will need to prioritise your workload effectively and be capable of tackling problems and implementing solutions. You will have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to maintain accurate and up-to-date records.

On a day‑to‑day basis, your role will be to provide an efficient service to all businesses within the Ribble Valley. You will ensure effective administration of billing and collection of business rates in accordance with statutory provisions and local procedures. You will liaise with the Valuation Office Agency on rateable value amendments and update the database accordingly.

Whilst knowledge of business rates legislation is essential, previous experience of working in a Local Authority Revenues role is not, although it would be advantageous.
