About the Department:
The University Finance Office supports business planning and innovation to maximise the financial resources available to the University and create the long-term sustainable financial platform required for future growth. Finance staff across the University are networked as a professional community of expertise. You will be supported to continue your professional journey through access to Continuing Professional Development training opportunities, sector networks and regular Finance Office briefings.
The role is campus-based; however, staff can opt to work under the Finance Office's current hybrid policy where a maximum of 40% of time (2 days per week for full-time staff) can be worked remotely. This is subject to review and whilst in the induction phase you'll be required to work 100% in the office. Further details are available on request or at interview stage.
