We are seeking an experienced, qualified accountant, who can work with a range of stakeholders in order to bring about positive changes to current operations.

You'll need excellent interpersonal and influencing skills to develop sustainable and beneficial relationships, along with demonstrable leadership qualities of high performing teams delivering to business plan targets.

You'll possess programme and project management skills, to ensure benefits realisation can be captured, delivered and measured.

You'll be managing a team consisting of qualified and part qualified accountants, requiring strong leadership from you with experience of staff management being a key requisite.
