Full-Time Compliance Caseworker
Job Description
At HMRC we’re committed to getting tax right, for everyone.
We’re all doing our bit to make a difference, whether that’s helping customers pay their tax and claim financial support or making it hard for the dishonest minority to cheat the system.
We couldn’t do all this without our dedicated and very important workforce. We’re one of the largest organisations in the UK, and we pride ourselves on our diverse and inclusive working culture.
Do you have an analytical mind and an interest in tackling tax evasion?

What will I be doing?
As an Officer (O) Compliance Caseworker, you will be on HMRC’s front line, delivering a high volume of cases under a variety of different targeted compliance projects. Over time, you will build on your skills and knowledge across a wide range of taxes and risks.
You will be dealing with non-compliance through direct customer contact using letters, email, web chat and phone calls. Tasks include challenging customers in telephone interviews, identifying compliance risks and performing any intervention activity required.

Part time hours: The pay and annual leave for the vacancy will be pro-rata for successful part-time positions.
