What we are looking for

This is an excellent opportunity for a CIPFA, CIMA or ACCA qualified accountant who is looking to make a step up from a role that is responsible for the delivery of financial information to heads of service. This role will see you elevate your career in finance as you will develop your people leadership skills through the line management of the finance team of 5. 

If you are currently in a Finance Business Partner, Finance Analyst or Finance Manager role that allows you to influence budget holders within a local authority, but your role offers no further development in your role, this is a fantastic opportunity to make the next step toward a “Head of” role.
