Job Details

We have a number of exciting opportunities to join us as at our processing offices based at Lingfield Point, Darlington. You will be supporting Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) customers by assessing their eligibility for support, reimbursing any agreed expenditure and effectively handling any enquires by phone, email or letter.

You'll be working as part of the team that determines students' entitlement to financial support. This will involve assessing applications, so that an accurate decision on their eligibility can be made. You'll be reviewing complex medical or diagnostic evidence and make informed decisions on eligibility for DSA. You will need to capture the information provided onto bespoke processing systems following specific processes and guidance material.

Whilst disability awareness is desirable, previous experience isn't required for these roles - what's more important is that you're computer literate and have a high attention to detail, with excellent organisational and communicationskills. You must be confident in using Microsoft PC packages including Word and Excel, and hold both Maths and English at GCSE level or above (or equivalent).

Our people tell us there are a wide variety of reasons why they work for us. We recognise the importance of a healthy work-life balance and our staff policies reflect this.

No matter how you join us, you'll find that you have the opportunity to develop skills in the course of your everyday work and through specific training. You'll be surrounded by friendly people in our offices which offer pleasant, open plan surroundings with an on-site cafe and kitchen facilities as well as free on-site parking. And for those relying on public transport, there is a regular bus service from Darlington town centre and train station.

We have a great selection of benefits on offer, including:

  • Range of flexible working options including flexitime
  • Annual performance related payment for the top 25% performers
  • Generous annual leave - 36 days holiday including 8 public holidays
  • Option to buy extra and/or sell annual leave
  • Company sick pay and enhanced family friendly pay including maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave.
  • Help travelling to work with our interest free travel ticket loan and cycle to work scheme
  • A generous company pension scheme and free life assurance equivalent of 4 x basic salary.
  • Great internal opportunities for career progression with an Investors in People organisation
  • Ability to apply for funding to undertake further education courses

These roles are offered for those interested in full time work working 4pm - 12am Monday to Friday on a 24 Month Fixed Term Contract

Interested? Apply here today! If successful, our recruitment partners Manpower will call you - from a private number - within 2 working days to conduct a short telephone interview.

Successful applicants will be required to undergo Her Majesty's Government Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) pre-employment vetting. This includes verification of your identity, criminal record and nationality/immigration status. We also require evidence of your employment and/or education history for the last 3 years. We may also require an overseas criminal record check if you have spent more than 6 months outside of the UK in the last 3 years. Further information will be given at assessment stage.
