Job Description
Are you an ambitious, committed, and confident Finance professional looking for a unique, career defining opportunity in Local Government that will make a real difference? Then we should talk …
Nottingham’s challenges are well documented, and it will come as no surprise that we’re on a significant improvement journey, but that makes it an ideal time to join us, as we work hard to rebuild the Council.
Nottingham has much to celebrate, and it has great potential – it’s a high profile, diverse and exciting city. Enjoying a rich heritage and vibrant culture including leading arts venues, world class universities, and sporting venues, it’s also an interesting place to live, work, and visit. As one of the UK’s Core Cities, Nottingham plays a vital role in the regional and national economy, and with the newly formed Combined Authority and recently elected Mayor, we will benefit from a billion pound devolution deal to bring new powers and funding to shape and develop the East Midlands.
The challenge should not be underestimated but we have huge ambition to build on these opportunities and become the very best Council we can be for our residents, both now and in future generations. We are determined to transform the way the council operates, working with Government appointed Commissioners and will deliver on our promise to provide excellent Best Value services for our communities.
We know that an effective and enabling Finance service is critical to Nottingham’s resurgence and we have a clear vision as to how we get there, so we’re looking for exceptional candidates to join the Finance leadership team, reporting directly to the Director of Finance. As a senior Finance professional, you will relish the challenge of supporting the Council’s transformation and understand that this is an opportunity to challenge the status quo and help us to create a functional team that facilitates delivery at all levels across the Council. To reshape our senior Finance team we’re looking for:
- AD Business Partnering
- AD Strategic Finance
- AD Technical and Transactional Finance
- AD Finance Transformation
We expect that you will bring exceptional technical finance ability, be highly skilled in managing relationships and be confident in your ability to advise senior colleagues.
In return, we offer a competitive salary, significant employee benefits including hybrid working and an unparalleled opportunity for national and regional recognition and a genuine investment in your future.
So if you’re resilient, excel at relationship management and are motivated by overcoming challenges, Nottingham could be a great fit for you.
