About the job

Newcastle-under-Lyme is an ambitious and forward-thinking borough with significant investment in regeneration and a commitment to building a thriving, sustainable future for our communities.

We are seeking a highly motivated finance professional to join our team as a Principal Accountant. This is a pivotal role that offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the financial sustainability of our borough.

  • You will play a key role in maintaining our strong history of financial stability and driving continuous improvement across all financial functions.
  • As the Principal Accountant, you will be responsible for monitoring service level budgets and liaising with key stakeholders, providing financial guidance and ensuring stewardship and probity.
  • You will also assist the Finance Manager in their duties and deputise for them as required.

If you are an ambitious and talented finance professional ready to take on a new challenge, we would love to hear from you.

Requirements

for more details Please refer to the Person specification and Job discription.

Why work for us?

Newcastle-under-Lyme is a borough with big ambitions. We've already started our transformation, however, we still need to find better ways of doing things because we are determined to do the very best we can for our communities.

If our vision is to be the best, then we need the best people working for us. Our people are at the heart of what we do and have the freedom to innovate, grow and develop. We recruit people who share our vision and values; people who have the drive to deliver our ambitious Council plan.

Our historic Borough is a place of marked contrasts. We are the home of a world class University at Keele, a leading light known internationally for its research and sustainability record, which stands side by side with former mining communities including some which register amongst the most deprived areas in the country. Our Borough is also a mixture of urban centres, affected by some of the same social issues facing our neighbouring city, Stoke-on-Trent, but also outstanding rural landscapes in our less populated villages. Our plans and priorities aim to address the needs of all our communities.

Our People Offer

We reward our people with a competitive range of benefits including; access to the local government pension scheme, minimum 24 days annual leave plus 5 extra days after 5 years' service, flexible working options and family friendly policies, local and national high street discounts, free car parking, wellbeing support including £12.50 per month Jubilee2 membership , green travel scheme including cycle to work and electric car salary sacrifice, free employee 24 hour employee assistance and counselling services, flu vaccination service and health checks plus development and training opportunities.
