Burgess Hill, West Sussex, United Kingdom West Sussex County Council Full time
About Us

West Sussex County Council is undergoing a period of transformation, driven by increasing demographic pressures, the need to provide residents and communities with greater choice and control over services, and the constraints of tighter financial resources. This necessitates a fundamental shift in how the Council operates.

The role will be situated within the Safeguarding, Planning, Performance, and Directly Provided Services Directorate. For more information on Adult Social Care Settings: Careers in Directly Provided Services, please refer to the relevant section.

About The Job

Salary: £43,516 to £46,549 per annum
Working Pattern: Full-time (37 hours per week) Mon to Friday 9am- 5pm
Contract Length: Permanent
Base Location: Burnside Day Opportunity service, Burgess Hill. Hybrid working and county-wide travel.

Effective business management involves delivering support to Directly Provided Services, as well as the Safeguarding and Access team. We are seeking a finance professional with experience to implement a finance business partnering model, encompassing a full range of high-quality financial management and accountancy services. This will involve advising and influencing the service to make informed financial decisions and having a direct impact on service delivery.

Initially, this will involve working with Adult Social Care budgets. The primary aim is to promote independence by enabling individuals to stay healthier and live in their homes and communities for longer. By linking financial data with performance information and possessing a naturally enquiring mind, you will play a crucial role in supporting the service to build a sustainable model for delivering adult social care services.

As a finance professional with experience of delivering a finance business partnering model, you will also need to possess:

  • A strategic thinker who can think independently and beyond the surface of a task/issue to provide a strategic view and added value to the service you support.
  • The ability to research, analyse, and interpret information to make effective judgements to review the effectiveness of activities and service provision, plan long-term, and set timescales.
  • The ability to identify and analyse risks, and manipulate complex financial data relating to large budgets in the region of £30m.
  • The ability to anticipate problems, plan solutions, and make sound pragmatic problem-solving decisions and recommendations, which will have a wider service impact, particularly in relation to providing a varied and complex service, resource issues, and partnership building.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check/portability as required.
