About the Role
This is an exciting role within the friendly and busy Social Care Payments Team, for the role of Finance Officer.
You will be responsible for processing and recording of Children’s Social Care payments on behalf of both the Council and Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB). This will include investigation and resolution of any payment issues with care providers.
The role will also involve accessing care information on our internal finance system, liaising with care providers, service users and social workers to clarify and address issues relating to the purchase and payment of care.
