View Latest Job OpportunitiesA Welcome from Our Senior Finance Leadership Team
We are Amanda and Rav Jassar, Deputy Directors of Finance at Brent. Between us, we bring over two decades of experience working within the borough—Rav has been with Brent for 17 years and 9 years for Amanda. During that time, we’ve seen first-hand how Brent supports professional growth, encourages innovation, and delivers real impact for its residents.
Our finance team is made up of over 130 dedicated professionals, many of whom have progressed through the organisation into leadership roles. In fact, all the hiring managers involved in this recruitment campaign have been promoted internally. We’re committed to building one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking finance teams in London. We work in a culture that values collaboration, curiosity, and bold thinking—where we challenge ourselves and each other to find better ways of doing things and to embrace change with confidence.
At Brent, finance is more than just producing the accounts—it’s about enabling transformation, safeguarding public resources, and helping shape the future of our borough. We work closely with colleagues across the council to ensure that financial insight is at the heart of decision-making. Our work is grounded in fairness, inclusion, and respect, and we take pride in creating a team environment where every voice is heard, and every success is celebrated. These values are not just aspirations—they are embedded in how we lead, how we support each other, and how we deliver for Brent’s communities.
We’re looking for people who are not only technically strong, but who bring energy, openness, and a collaborative spirit. If you’re looking for a place where your work will be valued, your development supported, and your ideas welcomed, we’d love to hear from you.

-
A healthier Brent
In the words of the council leader, Muhammed Butt,
“It is our community that makes Brent a great place; we make a really positive difference when we work together. The impact of the pandemic and other challenges to the national and local economies will mean that resources will be tight. However, we are committed to improving the lives of those who live in the borough. Our focus remains on the same principle as always – to leave no resident behind. This will be more important than ever.”
Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up.
Brent is the most ethnically diverse local authority in the country, this is evident to all who visit. Our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.
Brent Civic Centre - the council's headquarters - is just a stone’s throw from England's national stadium. The Borough is well connected with 21 tube stations, along with a host of road, rail, and cycle route links.
EDI & Values

Brent’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategy 2024 – 2028 is a commitment to tackle inequalities and support individuals and families to reach their full potential.

We engaged with people through focus groups, workshops, and staff events to capture the voices of people who live and work in Brent. The findings from these conversations have helped to prioritise the key issues and shape our three key EDI objectives:
- Inclusion: Accessibility and Cohesion
- Narrowing the Gap: Tackling Inequalities
- Establishing an Inclusive Workforce
