Help build a new public body for Wales: Disused Tips Authority for Wales

General Candidate Information Pack - 2026 Recruitment Campaign

Help build the financial stewardship and organisational performance behind one of Wales' newest public bodies.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a strategic leadership role in one of Wales' newest public organisations.

The Disused Tips Authority for Wales is being established as the national public body responsible for overseeing the safety, management and regulation of disused tips across Wales. Operating in a high-profile, safety-critical environment, our success will depend not only on effective operational delivery, but on strong financial stewardship, meaningful organisational insight and a relentless focus on performance and public value.

As Head of Finance & Performance, you will play a critical leadership role in developing the Authority's finance and performance capability. You will ensure robust financial management, effective performance reporting and integrated risk arrangements provide leaders with the insight, controls and confidence needed to make informed decisions and deliver lasting public value.

This is a broad strategic leadership role. Alongside leading the Authority's finance and performance functions, you'll shape financial planning, performance frameworks, risk management and corporate reporting arrangements that support the Board's strategic vision and Corporate Plan.

Job description

Beyond the organisation itself, you will play a pivotal role in developing the Authority's ambition to become a recognised centre of excellence in public financial management, organisational performance and public sector stewardship. Working with Welsh Government, auditors, regulators and professional networks, you will strengthen financial capability, promote best practice and contribute to the development of public sector financial leadership across Wales.

The role is both inward and outward facing:

Internally, you will provide the financial insight, performance information and business intelligence that enable confident decision-making, effective resource management and continuous organisational improvement.
Externally, you will build trusted relationships with Welsh Government, auditors, regulators and oversight bodies, demonstrating the Authority's commitment to sound financial management, transparency and accountability.
