Payments Officer

As a Payments Officer within the Children’s Services Commissioning Team, you’ll play a key role in ensuring that providers and clients are paid accurately and on time. Working closely with the Payments Team Manager, you will process invoices, scheduled payments and one off payments, carry out reconciliations, and maintain accurate financial records across systems such as SAP, Mosaic, Liquid Logic, ControCC and AllPay. You’ll take ownership of complex financial transactions and queries, support the recovery of overpayments, and contribute to maintaining strong financial controls across the service. You’ll also run system reports, support year end processes, and provide advice to internal and external stakeholders regarding payment and finance-related issues. This is an opportunity to play an important role in ensuring high standards of financial administration that directly support children’s services across the borough.
