**About the Borough**

London Borough of Sutton and the Royal Borough of Kingston Councils have a number of Shared Services serving both authorities, with some teams and roles more focussed on one Council than the other. We are recruiting a Strategic Finance Business Partner (SFBP) focused on the Royal Borough of Kingston, whilst being a part of the broader Shared Finance Service.

As a wider team, the option to work flexibly in both Sutton and Kingston offices is available, although this role is primarily Kingston based.

There are some really exciting things happening in both Sutton and Kingston. We are developing the London Cancer Hub, a world leading cancer research and treatment hub that will bring together professionals from across different sectors to identify and test new treatments and therapies. We are undertaking the largest housing regeneration programme ever delivered in Kingston, building new energy efficient housing that will transform some of our oldest Council owned housing. Both boroughs have publicly committed to doing what they can to tackle the climate emergency and are investing in new technologies and societal change that will help bring carbon emissions down and improve our climate impact.

Kingston is a beautiful Royal borough with a historic setting on the banks of the Thames with excellent schools and a bustling retail centre, all surrounded by open green spaces such as RIchmond Park and Bushey Park, former recreation grounds for Tudor kings and queens. The Council is controlled by a Liberal Democrat Administration and has a corporate plan “Making Kingston Better Together” that sets out a vision to be a vibrant, diverse and inclusive borough where residents are active, empowered, engaged and able to remain independent and resilient. The Council engages with residents through a number of forums and events through the year, and like Sutton plays a leading role in developing the South West Region of London.

**About the Role**

**Strategic Finance Business Partner (SFBP) - Corporate (0.6 FTE) Job share**

**Grade 10 - £52,929 - £61,491 (£63,684 unconsolidated maximum) (pro-rata for part time)**

Reporting to the Corporate Head of Financial Planning and Business Partnering, we have a great opportunity for a fully qualified / suitably experienced finance professional to support the Corporate service area at the Royal Borough of Kingston.

This is a job-share role and is a Financial Planning centred role that involves various work streams; one of the most prominent is working on the Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) working towards a balanced budget by influencing, modelling and updating all the financial elements behind the MTFS. This includes savings, growth, inflation, council tax, business rates, collection fund and grants. This is done by responding to, and collating, information from other Strategic Finance Business Partners, the Services, the Section 151 and other colleagues. It is also achieved through keeping abreast of the overall financial climate, government announcements related to local government funding and joining all these elements together.

Key responsibilities include:

- Support the development of the Medium-Term Financial Plan and take responsibility for ensuring the MTFP is underpinned by robust and accurate working papers
- Lead and co-ordinate the creation of detailed budget estimates ensuring these are implemented on 1 April and aligned to the published MTFP
- Support the Head of Financial Planning & Business Partnering to prepare budget reports, analysis, and budget options for consideration by senior officers, Members and Council committees
- Provide detailed analysis of grant settlements and other funding announcements, ensuring financial impact on the Council is assessed and communicated clearly to senior officers
- Respond to consultations and assess the financial impact of new legislation as required
- Support the Head of Financial Planning & Business Partnering to align financial plans to other corporate policies and strategies including the corporate plan, and to develop a strong understanding of the Council’s financial position and associated challenges across the Council and external stakeholders
- Line management of one member of staff (Senior Finance Lead)
