NLC17 £71,175 - £77,884
We are achieving great things that will improve the lives of residents. These vital improvements are part of a programme of major economic regeneration and growth that is changing the landscape of North Lanarkshire with the ambition of making it the place to live, learn, work, invest, and visit.
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. You will be responsible for providing day-to-day strategic support to local teams in the areas of Adult Health & Social Care; Education, Children & Families; Enterprise & Communities; or Chief Executive's service areas.
If you're motivated, ambitious, and driven by achievement, then come and join us. Your role will bring you into contact with a wide range of senior officers both internally and with other local authorities, COSLA, and the Scottish Government.
You should be educated to Honours Degree level, SVQ5 or equivalent, and/or membership of a CCAB body (or equivalent) such as CIPFA/CA/CIMA/ACCA with substantial post-qualification experience in an accountancy or financial management role. You should have a proven track record in team leadership, management of change, and project and service development. 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 that operates a hybrid working model of home-working and office-based working at the Civic Centre in Motherwell.
For further information or an informal discussion on the role, please contact Elaine Kemp, Chief Officer (Finance) at kempe@northlan.gov.uk.
The temporary post is for 12 months.
