Huntingdon, United Kingdom Huntingdonshire District Council Full time

Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) is passionate about providing high-quality services to our communities, residents and businesses. This means we must employ and retain the most talented and dedicated people.

Situated within the heart of the Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, Huntingdonshire is a beautiful district that boasts thriving market towns and many attractive villages, each with its own identity. We are an innovative and forward-thinking local authority whose residents are at the heart of our decision-making.

At HDC we want to employ staff who embody our icare values ( Inspiring, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Enterprising ), all of which support our ultimate purpose of putting our customers first.

Job details

We are searching for our next Director of Finance and Corporate Resources.

This is a highly visible leadership role within and outside the council. While you will inevitably be very focused on our financial planning, management and controls, there is much more to the role.

You will be responsible for a full portfolio of corporate resources, which includes Finance, HR, Internal Audit, Risk and Controls, Facilities Management, Democratic Services and Commercial Estates (this is currently subject to review).

You can expect to be continually involved in the strategic growth agenda, recognising the fiscal importance of attracting new investment to the district, alongside the economic benefits it delivers for our residents.

You will also play a key role in developing the organisation's approach to risk and how this is assessed and managed as a core part of project and programme management. Key to this will be ensuring robust governance and accountability arrangements underpin our work.

Your commercial skills will be fully utilised as we review our commercial strategy to ensure that we are making good investments and making a positive return on existing assets.

You'll advise on the viability of 'invest to save' programmes, ensuring a long-term perspective supports well-informed decision-making. You can expect to take the lead on a review of current ways of working to identify opportunities to enhance what we do, making the best use of people, technology and different service models to deliver great services to customers, as well as value for money.

This opportunity will suit someone with a well-informed understanding of the local government sector, alongside proven financial management expertise that includes an accountancy qualification.

Your experience to date should have equipped you with a keen commercial awareness that is tailored to suit a public sector setting and an excellent appreciation of operating within a political environment. You'll need excellent people and resource management skills, enabling you to get the best from those around you so that you can empower, develop and retain great staff.

An offer of employment is conditional upon having the right to work in the UK. Huntingdonshire District Council does not hold a Sponsorship Licence and is unable to provide a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) or take over Sponsorship for any role.
