Finance Business Partner – West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the country’s leading Fire and Rescue Services, to become part of a team where everyone plays their part in making West Yorkshire Safer.
Joining a first-rate organisation, you will have the job satisfaction of knowing each day that you are contributing to the success of one of just five metropolitan fire and rescue services in the UK, supporting circa. 900 firefighters who work round the clock to help people and save lives.
We are a caring organisation, promote an environment of inclusivity and learning and welcome people from all walks of life – just as long as you can show commitment to our values such as integrity and teamwork.
We are continuing to improve the way our Finance Department works so that we can achieve the very best for our colleagues, customers and communities and we are looking for a Finance Manager to help us achieve our ambitions. You will join a supportive team that has a collaborative ethos and clear direction.
Your role
Working closely with internal and external stakeholders, you will be responsible for providing accurate, understandable, and timely financial information on the Authority’s capital programme and revenue budget. This involves monthly monitoring and advising budget holders on a range of financial issues as well as maintaining key account records. You will be analysing complex financial information and developing and updating comprehensive working papers to support budget setting, forecasting and the submission of statutory returns.
What you will need
We are looking for a fully qualified accounting technician with experience of providing financial information and training to a range of users. You will have extensive knowledge and experience of accounting and budgeting systems and be able to deliver on a wide and varied area of financial work to tight deadlines.
What we offer
We offer an excellent package, including Local Government Pension Scheme, free parking, 37-hour flexible working week, an employee assistance programme, training and development, sports and social clubs with free use of gym.
Our flexible working arrangements include hybrid working. Whilst you will be required to work from our offices during your initial training, after this you’ll work both in the office and from home as part of our ‘hybrid’ working model. Therefore, applicants must have a reliable home internet connection.
If you can meet this challenge, we want to hear from you!
