Are you a finance professional looking for a development opportunity that offers broad exposure across a wide range of local government finance activities? Bassetlaw District Council is offering an exciting opportunity for a Finance Manager to support the delivery of a comprehensive, high-quality finance service during an important period for local government. This opportunity is open to colleagues from Councils who are part of our Nottinghamshire Local Government Reorganisation programme.

The role will support the Head of Finance and Property with the day-to-day management of the finance service, including financial management, reporting, budget preparation, annual closedown and the production of accounting statements. The role will also provide financial advice and support to a range of Council services, elected Members and external stakeholders, including external auditors. This would be an excellent opportunity for a CCAB/CIMA qualified finance professional, or someone with strong relevant local government finance experience, who is looking to broaden their skills, gain experience in a different local authority setting and contribute to wider public sector collaboration during LGR. What the opportunity offers
- Gain hands-on experience across a varied district council finance function.
