Salary Grade 8 Level 1 - 4 (£33,237 to £36,278 per annum)
Accounting Technician
Job description
This is an exciting opportunity to join the busy service finance team within Financial Services at City of York Council. The City of York is a fantastic place to live and work with the council overseeing the delivery of significant infrastructure projects such as York Central, upgrades to the Outer Ring Road, new House Building schemes and improvements to the Station.
The role, reporting to the service accountant, will include core financial tasks such as budget monitoring, maintenance of financial systems and completing final accounts. You will also work closely with service managers in assisting them to maximise their budgets to deliver council priorities.
As a Unitary Authority we provide all council services to residents, businesses and visitors which means the role can be varied. We are looking for motivated individuals who will enjoy working with service managers to ensure these services are of the highest quality and delivered within the financial framework.
If you are AAT qualified (or equivalent qualification) or close to completing the qualification and have experience of working in an accounting or finance role, this could be an excellent opportunity to apply your experience in supporting accounting processes and service managers. Whilst Local Government experience is desirable it is not essential as we will provide training and support to the successful candidate.
This post is suitable as a job share opportunity.
Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.
The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
