This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in one of the UK's most high-profile and complex local authorities. Leading the Council's Centre of Excellence for financial and statutory reporting, you will be accountable for the integrity, timeliness and transparency of the Council's single-entity and Group Annual Accounts (including the Lothian Valuation Joint Board and the Integration Joint Board), prepared in accordance with the IFRS‑based CIPFA/LASAAC Code of Practice and relevant Scottish regulations. You will champion internal controls, modernise and digitise accounting operations and steward finance data so decision‑makers have fast, decision‑ready information.

This position is subject to Standard Disclosure check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
