The roles’ primary purpose is to provide a robust investigation service aimed at stopping, preventing, identifying and investigating fraudulent activity across the council. This will be a challenging role but can offer much job satisfaction for the right candidate.   

Fighting fraud requires the counter fraud community to have a variety of complex skill sets, such as investigative interviewing, intelligence gathering, fraud measurement, data analytics, and risk assessment which we will help you acquire. Within your first year of employment, you will be put through a fully accredited Fraud training scheme - whilst also receiving on-the-job training. 

In order to be eligible for any increment increases you will need to pass the relevant training.
