**Full Time, Permanent**

At Bristol City Council we are excited to be bringing to the market several finance roles.

These opportunities reflect a period of review and change, with transformation happening across the Council and reflective within the finance function. We have seen a strengthening of the Council’s finance resource with the appointment of two new Heads of Service, to drive forward a structure with increased strategic finance resources. A key aspect of this change is to embed a business partnering approach across our financial management team and these roles are pivotal in enabling us to provide strategic advice and ensure budget holder engagement.

As a core part of the senior finance team, our finance business partners lead on the delivery of high-quality financial advice, bringing commercial and financial expertise to the Council.
