BCP Council's Access to Resources Team (ART) is responsible for commissioning services that support children, young people and families. We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Finance Officer to join our team and be responsible for coordinating regular payments to external providers.

The role will be demanding but rewarding for the right individual who will be responsible for ensuring that payments are processed effectively and within agreed timescales. Experience of working within a finance environment alongside processing invoices manually and using bespoke financial systems is required.

Candidates need to have excellent administration and communication skills with a track record of working closely with internal and external providers. They should be able to demonstrate experience in finance. It is essential that candidates can work independently with multiple priorities and conflicting deadlines.

If you have the commitment, skills and knowledge to assist us in providing an excellent service, we would be interested in hearing from you.

As a result of the creation of BCP Council in 2019, we are working on simplifying our terms and conditions of service and will be creating a single pay structure which all of our employees will move on to. It is important to us that we offer benefits that our colleagues value as part of their total employment package and we are reviewing these to make sure we have it right. We're hoping to implement these changes in 2022 and all colleagues joining us will be included in these changes.

This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the community and expects all staff and volunteers to share the same commitment. Applicants to this post will be required to complete the appropriate level of Disclosure & Barring Service Check. Please refer to the Person Specification for more details.
