Are you an experienced finance professional looking for the chance to make a meaningful difference?

We’re looking for a Senior Accounting Officer to join our Children’s Care finance teams—a vital service area at the heart of improving outcomes for residents across Middlesbrough.

This is a unique opportunity to shape how the service operates, influence financial decision-making, and play a key role in supporting one of the Council’s most important directorates.

• Making a positive impact for the community
• Delivering high standards of professional financial practice
• Supporting your development through continuous learning
• Creating a fair, inclusive, and supportive workplace
