About you:
*Qualified, AAT qualified, part-qualified or CCAB studier, or qualified by experience

*An interest in financial accounting and public sector finance, rather than extensive prior technical exposure
*Good analytical skills and confidence working with financial data
*Strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn
*A genuine desire to develop a long-term career in the public sector
