The Adults Finance team is a front facing team providing support to the wider Department, individuals and their families. Due to this, there is a requirement for this role to be office based for the first 6 month probationary period and then a hybrid model following that.

Knowledge of Adult Social Care case management systems (i.e., MOSAIC) and financial systems is also desirable.

Applicants should have English and Maths GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above.
