There’s more to life than work. So we make sure that when you take a job with us, your work suits your life.
When you join our finance team you'll be part of a newly restructured service in place from 1 April 2021, with ambitious plans to improve the financial management of the authority. The focus is on the improvement of the services we offer, engaging non-financial services to become more confident around managing their budgets and providing more financial data analysis to decision-makers in those services.
We are committed to 'developing from within' and have a rolling trainee/apprentice recruitment programme. As well as developing our current staff through internal training and mentoring, we support external professional training. It is an exciting time for the service with many opportunities for staff to develop their skills and experience.
