"Please note, this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship and we can only consider applicants with existing right to work in the UK."
Plymouth City Council is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, motivated, and outgoing individual to join our Capital and Treasury Management team as a Lead Accountant.
This is a key role within the team, working closely with the Lead Accountancy Manager and two other Lead Accountants. The vacancy has arisen due to internal staff movement, offering an exciting opportunity to contribute to the financial stewardship of major city-wide initiatives and be part of an positive, forward thinking and supportive team.
The Council's approved 5-year Capital Programme totals approximately £350 million, including transformational projects such as: Armada Way, National Marine Park, Civic Centre regeneration and major road infrastructure schemes.

- Managing capital financing, including monitoring capital grants, Section 106 contributions, and other funding sources.
- Helping the Council manage financial risk and use resources effectively
- Leading on workload planning and resource prioritisation across your team
What makes this role exciting?
You'll be working on some of the biggest and most exciting projects Plymouth has ever seen. As a city with ambition, Plymouth has bold plans around regeneration, infrastructure, housing, and sustainability. From major capital investments to transformative service reviews, your work will directly support change that benefits residents, businesses, and communities.
You will be joining a supportive and experienced team who take an active pride in developing colleagues in new areas of work and bring your own experience and knowledge to shape delivery of a quality finance service.
Why Plymouth?
Plymouth is a vibrant waterfront city with a strong sense of community and a bold vision for the future. Set between the sea and Dartmoor National Park, it offers an incredible quality of life, whether you enjoy culture, coastlines, or countryside. As one of the South West's fastest-growing cities, it's a brilliant place to build your career, get involved in meaningful projects, and make a difference.
What We're Looking For
- Part-qualified CCAB accountant (or equivalent), or fully qualified AAT with strong local government finance experience
- A commitment to achieving full CCAB qualification within five years
- Has excellent oral and written communication skills and can engage effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
- Can work flexibly and efficiently, managing competing priorities and delivering high-quality work under pressure.
- Is a collaborative team player, keen to support colleagues and contribute to a positive working environment.
- Has experience in line management and is committed to developing and supporting team members.
Why join us?
We'll support your continued professional development and give you space to grow. Whether you're working toward full qualification, building your leadership skills, or getting stuck into major projects, this is a role where you can make your mark. You'll join a friendly, collaborative finance team that's focused on delivering great outcomes for Plymouth.
This role is not suitable for flexible working subject to the needs of the service.
