Scottish Borders Council is looking to appoint a permanent Finance Business Partner to lead the team providing financial management support to both Adult and Education and Children's Services.
Both services are undergoing exciting changes as part of the Council's vision to make the Scottish Borders the UK's first smart connected rural region and are developing innovative solutions to deal with increasing need.
The Council is facing financial challenges alongside all public sector organisations but with a proven track record in savings delivery and a strong approach to financial management, as noted in our recent Best Value report, this role will be crucial in supporting services to maintain financial sustainability.
This is a very flexible role primarily working from home with only occasional travel to Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells required.
