Barking & Dagenham has transformed the way it provides services and as a result we’ve restructured our Finance function to build in the capacity we need to match our growth plans.

We need finance leaders to drive innovation that pushes the boundaries of what is possible, using their professional expertise to help take us to the next level in our journey.

We’re looking for exceptional people who really understand the challenges local authorities face today and can deliver the outcomes that underpin our ambitious corporate plans.

At the same time, you will need to have a commercial outlook, determination and resilience to understand our vision for the future and make change happen.

If our ambition excites you, do take a look at my introductory video and review the candidate information provided. If you have any queries, feel free to reach out to our recruiting partners at Hays Executive and make an application!

I look forward to meeting you.
