About the Role
As a Service Charge Specialist at Peabody, you will use your experience managing service charges to support residents by ensuring their charges are accurate, transparent, and reflective of the services provided.

Throughout the day, you will build relationships, solve problems, and ensure residents have the information they need. You will be responsible for managing all aspects of service charge calculation and enquiry resolution, analysing costs, responding to resident queries, collaborating with teams across the business, and ensuring residents receive clear and relevant information.
