Initially 3 - 6 months contract Ideally Yorkshire based, but if you have local gov experience remote is possible Must have local authority finance experience LOCAL AUTHORITY FINANCE MANAGER (INTERIM) - REMOTE Got actual local government finance experience? Good. Broader public sector finance experience? Let's still talk! Interested in working in these environments, and have done a bit of research into how your other sector experience might translate...then again let's still talk! Because this is a great role to partner the areas of this local authority that people care about the most (or they are certainly most visible to your average tax payer!) we're talking about waste, highways, planning transport, sports and leisure as well as exciting city wide initiatives. For someone with local government finance experience this could be a remote role (mostly) - because the experience is the most critical element they will be flexible on location rather than compromise on someone who isn't able to hit the ground running. What you'll need: Proven experience managing finances in a local authority setting - i.e. a local council or potentially a combined authority. The ability to translate financial jargon into plain English that engages non-finance budget holders. You'll be fully qualified, CIPFA would be great as you'll *get* the governance around what you'll be doing, but if not ACA / ACCA or CIMA would work if you have the right experience This is a 6-month contract (and you'll need to be almost immediately available) because: They need someone good right now (well in a few weeks at least - ideally a start date in June and interviews this week!) This is to cover for two unexpected absences alongside some permanent recruitment and organisational change - a classic scenario where you'll get immense gratitude when you arrive to help out a very busy team! If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please send your CV or get in touch with Lucy Rider.
