Job Description
Financial Controller
Waverley Court
Salary: £80,569 - £96,423
Hours: 36 per week
This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in one of the UK's most high-profile and complex local authorities. Leading the Council's Centre of Excellence for financial and statutory reporting, you will be accountable for the integrity, timeliness and transparency of the Council's single-entity and Group Annual Accounts (including the Lothian Valuation Joint Board and the Integration Joint Board), prepared in accordance with the IFRS-based CIPFA/LASAAC Code of Practice and relevant Scottish regulations. You will champion internal controls, modernise and digitise accounting operations and steward finance data so decision-makers have fast, decision-ready information.
This position is subject to Standard Disclosure check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
