We are seeking an experienced Finance Technician to work within Financial Services supporting our Place and Resources Directorate.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the country's largest county councils at a time of significant change and development.

You will support senior Financial Services colleagues in delivering effective financial planning and performance management across both revenue and capital budgets, providing high-quality financial information to support decision-making.

You will help ensure services are delivered within a robust and compliant financial control environment. You will understand the needs and expectations of our customers and provide a responsive service, resolving queries and issues promptly, professionally and courteously.

The team works on a hybrid basis, typically spending two days per week in the office and three days working from home. The successful candidate will be expected to work within these arrangements.

We have embraced new ways of working and hybrid working will be a feature of this role. You will be given a nominated contractual work base and you will be required to commute to this work base when necessary. Working arrangements regarding hybrid working will be discussed as part of the appointment process.

Our technology platform and equipment is very good enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We require that you have in place good connectivity, and we will discuss during the recruitment process if support with this is needed.

In accordance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 (Fluency Duty), the ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.

Our values – collaborative, adaptable, eco-conscious, supportive, and responsible – guide everything we do. We’re looking for candidates who share these values and bring them to life in their work, helping us build strong teams and make a real difference in the communities we serve.

About You

You will bring:

Strong organisational skills.
Good communication and presentation skills.
The ability to manage multiple responsibilities and prioritise competing demands effectively.
A self-motivated approach with a keen eye for identifying efficiencies and improvements.
The ability to build and maintain positive working relationships with colleagues.
Good ICT skills, including proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications.

We appreciate that no candidate will have experience in every aspect of the role from day one. What matters most is a willingness to learn, a proactive approach, and a genuine commitment to succeeding in the role.
