About Us
We are the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, an organisation that protects, enhances and promotes the immense beauty, wildlife and character of the Yorkshire Dales. From expansive heather moorland tops to crags, waterfalls, and distinctive pastoral valleys, each part of the Dales has its own unique charm.

You'll be part of a small finance team that works closely with colleagues across the Authority, giving you the opportunity to see the impact of your work and build strong working relationships.
We recognise that talented people are looking for flexibility. The role is offered on a part-time basis (20-25 hours per week), with the working pattern open to discussion and opportunities for blended home and office working.
Our Yoredale office sits in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. If you're looking for a workplace with better views, you might struggle to find one.

The Role
This is a newly created role, giving you the opportunity to shape and develop it from the outset and become a key member of our finance team.

- Partner with Section Heads to shape budgets and provide financial insight that supports effective decision-making
