As such, this post is responsible for all financial accounting, financial reporting, treasury and systems functions but will also feed in to a wider finance project at an exciting and critical point. The successful candidate must prove to be capable in running a busy financial accounting team with 5 direct reports but also have an appreciation for implementing change and work with the programme lead in delivering financial transformation. Previous experience of higher education would be extremely advantageous but we welcome applications from fully qualified accountants with experience leading a financial accounting team previously, ideally within the public sector. Applications will be reviewed prior to the advert closing date and as such immediate application is recommended.
