Current Opportunities
Open Roles at CDS
Income Collections Officer
The opportunity – You’ll manage arrears across a varied caseload, taking early, proactive action when payments are missed. Using your growing expertise in welfare benefits, budgeting and legal remedies, you’ll support residents to get back on track quickly if they miss a payment. Where this isn’t possible, you’ll progress cases confidently through the courts, balancing robust income collection with fairness, humanity and professionalism.
About you – You’re calm under pressure, organised and resilient, with a strong customer-service mindset. You’re comfortable delivering difficult messages clearly and respectfully and you enjoy finding practical solutions to complex problems. You’ll bring excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail and confidence working with numbers and IT systems. Whilst you will have experience in income collection, housing or a customer-facing enforcement role, we’re equally interested in your approach, values and enthusiasm and willingness/ability to learn.
