Description
Job Description & Person Specification >
Are you someone who enjoys solving complex problems, improving systems and making things work better?
Do you like being the person people turn to when they need technical expertise, practical solutions and clear advice? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for a Senior Revenues & Benefits Systems Officer to join our Revenues & Benefits Systems Team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in the development and support of the systems that help deliver essential services to thousands of residents across Torbay.
This is much more than a systems administration role. You will lead on major annual processes, system developments, testing, automation and service improvements. You will be at the centre of projects that improve how we work and how we deliver services to our residents.
Working closely with managers, ICT colleagues, suppliers and operational teams, you will help shape the future of our Revenues & Benefits systems. You'll use your expertise to improve efficiency, strengthen resilience, increase automation and ensure our systems continue to meet changing business and legislative requirements.
You will also provide technical leadership across the team, supporting colleagues, sharing knowledge and helping to build technical capability across the service.

- Acting as the senior technical escalation point for complex issues.
- Working with suppliers and ICT colleagues to deliver system improvements.
- Supporting statutory reporting, data quality and audit requirements.
- Helping shape the future direction of our Revenues & Benefits systems service.
