About Bath & North East Somerset Council
At Bath & North East Somerset Council we have one overriding purpose to improve people’s lives.
About the Role
We are looking for an applicant to cover maternity leave. The applicant should be an enthusiastic and reliable Accountant to provide financial support to a variety of Council services.
The primary purpose of the post is to make an effective contribution to the Finance Service by providing financial and management accounting support and advice to Council Services. The role will also help the team through a new financial system implementation process.
You will be a ‘people person’, a strong communicator who can easily build effective working relationships with Budget Managers across the organisation. The ability to explain financial information to non-finance colleagues will be important, whilst you will also be analytical in nature.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide financial and management accounting support and advice to Council Services.
- Contribute to the Finance Service.
- Assist the team through a new financial system implementation process.
