Tameside is one of the ten local authorities that make up Greater Manchester, nestling between the vibrancy of Manchester City Centre and the tranquillity of the Peak District which is on our doorstep. Our nine towns, each with strong identities, share a vision of a more prosperous Tameside with improved life opportunities, higher educational attainment, better paid jobs and the chance to enjoy the scenic places in and around the borough.
We are facing real challenges as the cost-of-living crisis continues. Against this backdrop, we need to sustain the delivery and quality of vital services and provide key strategic financial support to Council directorates.
If you have a high performing track record of achieving solutions, can work in partnership and be part of a strong team culture based around a borough wide vision to continually improve services for our residents and businesses, then we would like to hear from you.
We are looking for conscientious and committed individuals who can operate as part of a team delivering financial outcomes to support future success and change. You will also be proactive, highly motivated and dynamic with the drive and ability to succeed and deliver against stringent deadlines.
The Financial Management team is a centralised finance service within the Resources Directorate using the Business Partnering approach to provide financial advice, guidance and expertise across the Council. You will play a crucial role supporting the transformation of financially sustainable services that will serve our residents to live healthy and independent lives whilst also advocating the continuous improvement journey within Financial Management.
These exciting posts will provide financial management support primarily to the Children’s Services Directorate and the Corporate Finance Service with the additional flexibility to also support Adult Services, Public Health and the Council’s Business Directorates.
The roles will be responsible for the delivery of a number of essential aims, which include supporting :
The delivery of key financial tasks including monthly budget monitoring, annual budget setting and final accounts
Service and Business directorates with medium and long term financial planning
The provision of an efficient, effective and comprehensive business partnering and financial management service to the Council, partners and external clients ensuring resources are maximised within existing budgets
