About the role
Supporting our Financial Services Manager in providing an efficient and effective accountancy service, you will provide financial advice and support to the Housing Service Management Team to help ensure the service is delivered in an efficient and effective manner offering good value for money to its tenants.
Working with the Service and the Council’s Finance Team you will prepare budgets and provide timely and relevant budget monitoring reports to the Housing Management Team, Executive Leadership Team, and Councillors. You will be comfortable liaising with a range of internal and external customers, including senior management, supporting the Service by providing professional financial advice and promoting financial controls.

Along with a CCAB recognised qualification, you will already have experience in a similar role and be competent with IT-based financial systems. You will need to hit the ground running, so it is important that you can use your initiative and have a talent for communicating technical financial information into easy to understand language. With excellent communication skills, you will be confident working with a wide variety of stakeholders as you share information and advice with others. Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, you’re a great team player. You will occasionally need to be able to work out of office hours and attend evening meetings.
