Lead on Collection Fund accounting (Council Tax and NNDR/Business Rates), including estimates, year-end reconciliations, supporting papers, disclosures, and liaison with internal stakeholders and external audit.

Take ownership of Group Accounts, including advising on accounting treatment, maintaining robust working papers, and preparing supporting disclosures for the Statement of Accounts.

Support the delivery of the annual Statement of Accounts, including working papers, disclosures, and productive engagement with external audit.

Prepare and support key system reconciliations, including payroll and cash/bank reconciliations, maintaining strong audit trails, investigating differences, and ensuring timely resolution.

Contribute to capital accounting, leases, and fixed asset accounting, supporting year-end closedown activities, reconciliations, and audit queries.

Help support and improve the council’s finance systems, year-end processes, reporting templates, and financial controls, contributing to continuous improvement and change.

Manage and support staff within the team, providing day-to-day guidance, allocating work effectively, and helping to maintain high-quality service delivery.

About you

This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with an expectation that colleagues are expected to be in the office at least once per month for team meetings (as a minimum), for project work and collaborative activities, and as often as the role requires face to face attendance.

A varied and visible role with real influence, professional challenge, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the council.

Be part of a supportive finance team committed to professional development and shaping the future of the Council’s financial function.

Generous benefits including:

o 28 days annual leave (plus public holidays) (pro rata for part time).

o Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
