We’re looking for an inspiring leader who is good with numbers to join us in Lancashire on an exciting journey as we create a new shared service across two top local authorities.

It will be a fantastic challenge as we navigate the uncertainties of local government funding while looking at how we can generate income and manage major projects so we can continue to improve services for residents in times of austerity.

You will be leading a brilliant team to balance the books working on projects that vary from shopping centre investments to renovations of historic halls and the creation of major new development sites that will make Chorley and South Ribble places that people are proud to live and work in.

You will need to be a member of CIPFA or CCAB equivalent, have significant experience of leading finance teams and understand how local government works.

More than that you will need to throw yourself into everything we do being a champion for what the organisations are looking to achieve. You may be comfortable working through an excel spreadsheet full of numbers but equally you will find yourself bringing teams together across the organisation and maybe even seen cheering at one of our fantastic events helping to make them a success. 

This is a great opportunity to test your skills in an exciting shared environment where we work with organisations of all types to ensure the residents are put at the heart of everything we do.

To apply please visit our website at www.chorley.gov.uk/jobs and submit a CV and covering letter.  

The closing date is midnight on 31st January 2020.

Interviews will be held in February/March 2020.
