Role Responsibility

We are pleased to announce a new opportunity for a Corporate Accountant, on the basis of a 12 month Fixed Term Contract, full-time. Both internal and external applications are welcome.

As such, you will lead large transformation projects, and will work collaboratively with our Capital, Revenue and Strategy teams. You will liaise with other senior officers across KCC to strengthen financial business intelligence and to achieve best practice. From time-to-time you will also work with external consultants such as PriceWaterhouse Coopers and CIPFA, to drive forward system improvements and new initiatives.

This post is subject to a Basic Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
