Senior Finance Officer

With a rich, diverse heritage, historic sites and spectacular landscapes, including the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire is a largely rural county set alongside vibrant urban areas, and within easy reach of the cities of Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Leicester.

As well as offering a great place to live, as an employer we believe that hard work and commitment should be rewarded, and offer a package that will ensure you feel supported and valued including:

• Flexible working hours.
• Hybrid working.
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
• A comprehensive wellbeing package.
• Discount on leisure centre memberships.

Our ambition is to work together with our partners and communities to be an enterprising council, deliver value for money and enable local people and places to thrive.

Our Financial Management and Strategy Team provides a centralised business partnering finance function to support our services in delivering that vision.

Faced with the financial challenges common across Local Government, the Council has an ambitious refreshed Council Plan to deliver financial sustainability and support our residents and communities to thrive.

We are seeking an experienced qualified finance professional to join the Council's Financial Accounting Team within Financial Management and Strategy.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, this post will play a key role in supporting the Council's Corporate and Technical Accounting Functions including production of the Annual Financial Statements and Capital Asset Accounting.
