Middlesbrough is a fantastic place, proud of its heritage and ambitious enough to shape an entirely different future.

The Financial, Planning and Support service is seeking to recruit a suitably qualified and experienced Senior Accounting Officer. The post will initially be part of the Children's Services Finance Team and will provide a wide range of financial advice and support to the Directorates within Children's Services, which is an area which is currently undergoing an exciting transformation.
Prospective candidates should have a good background in finance and accountancy, ideally within local government. Also experience in the use of financial management systems is essential. We are looking for someone who has good communication skills, is confident and self-motivated, and has a commitment to customer focused service.
Our corporate values are a critical element of our strategy to create a brighter future for Middlesbrough and are at the heart of everything we do. The successful candidate will be expected to be familiar with our values and how they would be reflected in their work.
