Summary

DWP is hiring Administrative Officers to join our growing Universal Credit (UC) team.

You’ll play an important role in helping us to deliver vital services to UK Citizens. As part of a supportive team, you’ll help us deliver an excellent customer experience to the people we advise and support.

These jobs are based in our Wrexham Universal Credit Service Centre.

  • Using your communication skills, you’ll support a diverse range of claimants by providing advice and guidance on our benefits services through inbound call handling and over email.
  • You’ll build positive, trust-based relationships with claimants handling sensitive and challenging conversations with empathy, understanding and positivity.
  • You’ll be responsible for making decisions, based on the available facts, whilst providing explanations to claimants to reduce anxiety and ensuring they receive accurate advice.
  • You’ll focus on providing the right solution for each claimant, ensuring they receive the correct payment amount at the right time.
  • You’ll manage cases by working with colleagues across UC and DWP, supporting claimants in their journey towards work.
  • We’ll help you build an awareness of labour market policy, and its impact on claimants’ conditionality requirements.
  • You’ll be able to take ownership of your professional development, with a suite of digital learning and communications resources available to you.
