Dacorum Borough Council is a district Council in West Hertfordshire covering the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring and the surrounding areas. 

We are an ambitious and forward-thinking Council, committed to working in partnership to create a borough which enables the communities of Dacorum to thrive and prosper. Since 2012 we have delivered over £8 million of savings, while also increasing performance and satisfaction across key services. The Council has an ambitious regeneration programme and has made significant investment within the borough. We are building our own housing, as well as investing in improving existing properties.

The Council’s main offices are newly built and located in Hemel Hempstead, just outside the M25 and only a 25-minute train journey from Central London.  We offer staff flexible working arrangements, including home-working, together with a range of other benefits.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our highly motivated, strong performing Financial Planning and Analysis team, operating within a corporate culture of robust and forward-thinking financial management. As a team, we strive for better ways of working, drive efficiency and ensure value for money.
