About the Role
Internally known as a Finalisation Officer, you'll play an important role in bringing matters to an appropriate and respectful close for our clients and their families.
Working within our Finalisation team, you'll manage the conclusion of State Trustees services when a client's authority is revoked, transitions to another administrator, regains financial independence, or passes away.
You'll ensure client files are reviewed thoroughly, accounts are accurate, required documentation is prepared, and funds are distributed correctly and in line with authorised documentation and legislation. Most importantly, you'll provide clear, timely and compassionate communication to clients, families and stakeholders during what can often be complex or sensitive circumstances.
Skills & Experience
You are organised, detail-oriented and confident managing multiple files at different stages of completion. You bring empathy and professionalism when supporting people with disability, vulnerable clients and families from diverse backgrounds.
You will bring:
* Experience in a client-focused or service delivery environment
* Experience managing administrative or case-based work across multiple files
* Strong financial literacy, including experience with transactions, statements and payments
* Well-developed written and verbal communication skills
* Demonstrated ability to prepare accurate, professional correspondence and reports
* Strong time management skills and the ability to meet service standards
* Confidence using Microsoft Office and case management systems
* A collaborative mindset and commitment to continuous learning
Experience in financial services, community services, legal or disability sectors will be highly regarded. Knowledge of deceased estates or relevant legislation is desirable but not essential.
