Do you want to be bold and make a difference?

 

Enfield Council are investing in the borough to deliver positive outcomes for our communities. We want to support residents to live happy, healthy and safe lives in a good quality home they can afford. We want children and young people to do well at all levels of learning and for residents to age well.

 

To do this it is essential we have a strong, effective and value adding finance department, who are the cornerstone of the Council’s financial health and strategic decision making. We want a team who are robust and able to cope with the challenges in the sector currently, offering practical responses and providing useful analysis and information to ensure effective decisions are made. The team will be focused on being an active partner in service transformation and look to cut through bureaucracy and remove barriers.

 

As Olga mentioned in the video, the Council have been in the news recently around having applied for Exceptional Financial Support, but they are not reliant on it on an ongoing basis. They have set a balanced budget and have a senior leadership team and Members who are committed to working towards financial stability.

 

If you want to be part of this exciting opportunity to have a hugely positive impact at Enfield Council, we want to hear from you.
