  • Governance & Compliance: Ensure that financial regulations and governance frameworks are adhered to and kept up to date, working closely with the Chief Constable's CFO.
  • Treasury & Capital Management: Lead the development of treasury management strategies, including capital investment plans, ensuring they are affordable, prudent, and sustainable.
  • Procurement: Oversee procurement activities, ensuring compliance with all regulations and representing the PCC on the Regional Procurement Board.
  • Internal Audit & Risk Management: Commission and manage the internal audit function, ensuring it operates effectively and in accordance with best practices. Provide strategic advice on risk management and safeguarding of assets.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including the Chief Constable, Joint Independent Audit Committee, and external auditors.
About You:

The ideal candidate will be a qualified member of a CCAB accountancy body, preferably CIPFA, with significant experience in managing large budgets within the public sector.

You will have a proven track record of operating at a strategic level, particularly in politically sensitive environments, and be adept at leading financial planning, treasury management, and change programmes.

Your experience will include:

  • At least five years of senior financial management experience in a complex, multi-disciplinary environment.
  • Extensive knowledge of statutory duties of a Section 151 Officer and relevant legislation.
  • Strong leadership skills with a proven ability to inspire and manage teams.
  • Experience in public sector procurement and treasury management.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex financial issues to a range of stakeholders.
  • A high degree of political sensitivity and commitment to the principles of good governance and transparency.
Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on the financial health and governance of Wiltshire and Swindon's policing services.
