Lambeth Council is looking to recruit three Accountants to join its Children’s Finance Team. Working closely with the Assistant Director of Finance and Group Finance Manager for Children’s Services, and Assistant Directors and Service Manager’s within Children Services. We want individuals who have proven business partnering support skills, those who can constructively challenge with confidence and professionalism, and with experience of playing a vital role in helping the service deliver challenging savings targets as well as ambitious service delivery targets.

The three Accountant positions being recruited to are:

Accountant- Children’s Social Care

This role will provide business partnering support to Children’s Social Care, ensuring a robust forecast position, supporting the service in the successful delivery of savings, and provide ad hoc project and modelling support as when required to ensure effective embedded financial management.

Accountant- SEN and Music Services

This role will be based within the Schools team, and will concentrate on SEN, which includes providing business partnering support on SEN transport and music services. This role will have oversight of the Dedicated Schools Grant, specifically the high needs block, so experience of DSG would be advantageous.

Accountant- Children’s and Schools

This role will undertake reviews of existing budgeting and reporting arrangements, development of improved financial and operational processes and provide support across both the Children’s and Schools finance teams. This role will provide project support as and when required across both teams, and having experience of financial modelling and experience of utilising financial systems for forecasting and modelling is desirable.

For all three roles, we are looking for qualified accountants (CIPFA, ACCA, CIMA, or ACA) with demonstrable experience of delivering high-quality financial management, and individuals who find the business partnering concept comes naturally to them, through their effective communication and negotiating skills. If you have a positive attitude and a can do approach, and have experience and exposure of the criteria listed here and in the job description, we want to hear from you, and please ensure you submit an application, with examples as to how you meet the desired behaviours.

Closing date for receiving the completed application forms is Monday 6 May 2019 at midnight.

Interviews will be held during week commencing 13 May 2019.
