Work effectively in teams, alongside ensuring individuals understand their contribution to the overall team performance. Demonstrate a flexible approach to meet changing demands
Exercise strong IT skills using Microsoft Office products such as Word & Excel (or equivalent) in a professional environment

It would be desirable if you can also demonstrate that you can:

Show some experience of finance related work such as cash handling, recording transactions and income and expenditure accounts. Show knowledge of current developments in Local Government & Public sector finance, particularly in relation to Leicestershire County Council. Show you can interpret and use financial information to inform decisions and manage risks. Show that you have previously secured the commitment of others and obtain acceptance of change within your own team and work areas.
