Job description

Permanent

Ref: F0155

This is an exciting opportunity to join our highly motivated, strong performing Financial Services team, operating with a corporate culture of robust and forward-thinking financial management. As a friendly and supportive team, we strive for better ways of working, drive efficiency and ensure value for money. Our Hemel Hempstead office location offers shops, cafes’, gyms, restaurants, and a beautiful old town area with park and river within a five minute walk.

We are looking for an individual to join us who wishes to pursue accounting as a career. You may already have some experience in financial monitoring and reporting. We actively encourage our staff to pursue professional qualifications and can offer support for those who wish to do so. A desire to learn is essential. The job will provide an excellent opportunity to experience and develop in management accounting. The role will provide a varied mix across the monthly/annual financial cycle and high-level projects.

You will need to have excellent analytical and organisational skills to ensure accurate and relevant financial information is provided in a timely fashion. You will work with a range of internal and external stakeholders, making excellent communications skills essential. An ability to work at pace within a setting of competing priorities and demands is also essential.

In return, the Council offers an attractive benefits package including generous holiday entitlement, excellent 17.1% employer contribution pension scheme, parking close by, café, hybrid working, access to training and development opportunities. Starting salary will be determined in line with applicant’s qualifications and experience.

A standard check will be undertaken with the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure that the successful candidate has no relevant convictions.

The deadline for applications will be midnight on the closing date shown in the advert details.

We reserve the right to close the application process early due to a large amount of applications.

Information for applicants on Local Government Reorganisation

The Council is going through a major change as part of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and devolution. This means that the district and borough councils in Hertfordshire will be replaced by a smaller number of new unitary councils.

The aim is to make local government simpler and more efficient, improve services for residents, and bring decision-making closer to the communities we serve.

What this means for you

If you join Dacorum Borough Council between now and 31 March 2028, you will move to a new organisation on 1 April 2028. Your role will transfer to the new authority, but the way you work and who you report to may change.

While this may be different from what you are used to, it is also a rare and exciting opportunity to join Dacorum at a time of real change.

You will have the chance to help shape the future of local services and be part of building something new.

The new unitary councils will create opportunities for innovation, growth, and better public services. They will offer a more joined-up and forward-looking working environment for employees.

We are committed to supporting our staff and continuing to deliver high-quality services for residents throughout this change. Together, we are building a better future.
