Keynsham, United Kingdom Bath and North East Somerset Council Full time

**At Bath & North East Somerset Council we have one overriding purpose to improve people’s lives.**

**About the Team**

We are seeking to recruit to an exciting new position within the friendly and busy Social Care Payments Team, for the role of Senior Finance Officer.

You will be working within our team area, with management responsibility for our Finance Officers supporting them to ensure our expected outcomes are achieved.

**About the Role**

You will be responsible for the authorising, monitoring, processing and recording of Children’s Social Care payments on behalf of both the Council and Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB). This will include investigation and resolution of any of payment issues with care providers.

You will also be required to complete regular analysis of payments and services, providing reports and dashboards for managers and key stakeholders across a range of service portfolios. Previous experience of such a role in a Finance Team or Accounts Payable setting would therefore be required with experience of managing a busy finance team with conflicting demands and deadlines. The role will also involve accessing care information on our internal finance system, liaising with care providers, service users and social workers to clarify and address issues relating to the purchase and payment of care. Experience of financial systems such as ContrOCC, Liquid Logic and Agresso would also therefore be useful as well as being a team player with a collaborative work style. Excellent interpersonal and communications skills are also key, as the role will require close and collaborative working with external stakeholders such as care providers and service users, as well internal colleagues within our Brokerage, Commissioning and Social Care teams.

This a full time (37hrs) permanent role. This role will involve a mixture of working from home and the Civic Centre in Keynsham.

If this role is something you might be interested in, please review the job description and personal specification, and contact us if you have any questions or you would like to hear more about us
