Revenues Officer (NNDR) - Preston City Council

Due to the needs of the Shared Service, an opportunity has arisen to recruit to a Revenues Officer post in the Business Rate team, based at Lancaster, on a permanent basis.

This is a high performing team, whose responsibility for the collection of income promptly and efficiently has become crucial to the Council, given the impact of Government funding arrangements.
