As we deliver The Plan for North Lanarkshire and drive transformational change, it is vital that we have effective ongoing systems in place to control, manage and deliver our services to the highest standards of performance, ethics and Best Value.
We have two vacancies for a Business Finance Manager to assist the Chief Officer (Finance) in setting the council's core financial strategy, managing the council's revenue and capital budgets and delivering robust financial services including revenues and benefits.

An active awareness of current technical accounting, transformational and political aspects facing the council would be beneficial.
You will be joining a dynamic and flexible team who currently operate a hybrid working model of home-working and office-based working at the Civic Centre in Motherwell.
