Accountancy Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic person to be part of our finance team in an organisation which is proud of its skilled workforce and which has a clear vision for our borough’s future.

That vision is shared by all our partners and is in-tune with the aspirations of local people. It promotes Burnley as a place that is forward-looking with a clear track record in delivering transformational change through innovative and effective local partnership working.

These are challenging times and you could play an important part in delivering our ambitious plans.

As a forward-thinking and energetic local authority we value the contribution all colleagues make.

You must have experience of finance and accountancy work, ideally within a local authority and it is desirable that you are a Level 4 qualified Association of Accountancy Technician.

You will provide assistance to the Accountancy team, with involvement in a variety of tasks from system reconciliation to assisting in the closedown of the Council’s year end accounts.

Reporting to one of our Finance Business Partners, you will be a good team player and have the ability to work accurately and methodically to achieve good results and provide support to the Accountancy team. 

If you are interested in working with us to deliver our vision for our borough, we’d love to hear from you.
