We’re now looking for an experienced Management Accountant to join our Finance team. You will provide an effective management service to budget holders, senior managers and our executive directors and in turn help strengthen and shape the way we support our people.

• Monitor budget performance and suggest service improvements
• Prepare and complete statutory business information returns and/ or income and expenditure accounts in accordance with monthly and annual timetables making sure the date is complete and accurate
• Contribute towards the production of the annual plan and budget setting
