Edinburgh, United Kingdom Scottish Prison Service Full time
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is an Agency of the Scottish Government, working in partnership with organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to deliver safe and secure custodial services that empower offenders to take responsibility and to fulfil their potential. We employ over 4500 people in a diverse range of professions across our 13 prisons, Headquarters and the SPS College.

We are looking for a Capital Accounting Manager to join our Finance Team, based in Headquarters (Edinburgh). However this role is open to hybrid working, meaning we won't specify how many days must be worked in the office, but rather based on business needs, expectations and a degree of personal choice. We care about how you work rather than where you work and we'd welcome a conversation with the successful candidate on what remote working may look like for you.

About the role

The SPS is responsible for all the prison establishments in Scotland managing £1.4b of fixed assets. The organisation is planning a significant level of capital investment over the next five years with a programme of replacing some of the oldest prisons within Scotland. The capital expenditure budget for 2024/25 is £167m.

The capital accountant is a critical role in the SPS Finance team in managing the reporting and control of the £1.4b on non-current assets and the budget monitoring of annual capital expenditure.

The role will provide technical guidance and manage the reporting and control of all capital expenditure across SPS.

In return, we offer a package that aims to look after your health and wellbeing (employee assistance programme and lifestyle screenings), work-life balance (flexible/hybrid working) and professional development (funded CIPD subscriptions). Not to mention a whole host of other benefits including 37 days’ annual leave (rising to 42 after 5 years), generous Civil Service Pension and access to our employee discounts and savings scheme.

About You

The successful candidate will:

• Be a fully qualified accountant with membership of a recognised professional accountancy body such as ACCA, CIPFA, CIMA or ICAS.

• Have experience of capital budget management and responsibility of Fixed Asset Register.

• Have Experience of IFRS16.

• Be able to translate complex information into an easy-to-understand format for those who are not proficient within the subject.

• Hold experience in working with senior management teams including project managers.

Interested? For further information on this exciting opportunity, including the full job description/person specification and applicant pack, please click the apply button.

SPS will not tolerate any form of discrimination. If you cannot promote and demonstrate dignity, respect and equality, please don’t apply. Closing date: 15th April 2024 at 10am.
