What does the role involve?

You’ll be at the forefront of delivering a high volume of compliance cases relating to a variety of targeted compliance projects. Within Campaigns and Projects (C&P) our Compliance Caseworker roles are mainly desk-based.

Over time, you’ll develop and build on your skills and knowledge across a wide range of taxes and risks, whilst being supported by helpful colleagues who are experts in compliance casework.

You’ll be dealing with non-compliance through customer interaction using letters, email, webchat and phone calls. Tasks include challenging customers in telephone interviews, identifying compliance risks and performing any intervention activity required.

Training

When you join us, you’ll embark on an induction and training programme lasting up to 12 weeks. This will get you up to speed with the world of HMRC and Customer Compliance and develop your skills and knowledge.

We’ll invest in you with appropriate training and learning, to ensure you have the skills required to successfully perform your role, continue your development and achieve the required Compliance Professional Standards as a CCG Compliance Administrative Officer (AO).

On top of this you’ll have support, practical advice, help and assistance from your manager, technical experts and friendly colleagues.
