What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role you will need to be a qualified accountant who has operated in a similar role, leading and developing a large team in a complex organisation.

Alongside a competitive salary, the benefits package includes a generous defined pension scheme and holiday entitlement (minimum 42 days pa). The role is predominantly office based, although home working will be supported, and the University operates several family friendly policies to support their employees in achieving a work-life balance.
