The Financial Assessment & Income Collection Team is currently looking for an Assessment & Income Manager.
About the role
Working alongside a team of Assessment & Income Managers, you will lead a small high performing team responsible for financial assessments, welfare benefits advice and the collection of Adult Social Care charges. We are looking for someone to support the continued development of our Assessment & Income Collection service, ensuring delivery is of high quality and in line with the Council’s statutory duties and charging policies.
At the same time, we are striving to provide residents with digital tools to enable them to self-serve online and are planning how we can best manage the anticipated increase in demand for services in light of the forthcoming social care charging reforms. Working alongside the Lead Manager for the service, you will have a crucial role in supporting the implementation of a more digital approach with a view to improving the resident’s journey.
About you
We are looking for a passionate, experienced manager to join our enthusiastic and ambitious management team. A broad knowledge of either Care Act charging legislation or debt recovery principles would assist you on starting this role, but a management background in technology for example with the ability to learn at pace will also be considered.
Critical to this role is having effective people and performance management skills, to provide direction, motivate and inspire the team to be the best they can be. The ability to analyse data to support reflective performance conversations around best practice is required. You will also be able to manage self, be self-aware and understand the impact of work on self and others, with the mindset of responding constructively to challenges.
Your leadership style will maximise the opportunity for personal and staff development. You will continuously strive to drive up the quality of service provision and the collection rate of care charges, whilst ensuring Surrey residents are provided with comprehensive information on paying for care.
Your team will be co-located with Adult Social Care and Finance staff in various settings across the county and your location preference can be discussed at interview. Rest assured we encourage agile working to support you in the delivery of your work. If you have a flexible can-do approach then we would love to hear from you.
At Surrey, our values and behaviours are just as important as our skills and abilities. They shape who we are as an organisation. Find out more about the values we follow.
