Are you committed to building public services that are fit for the future? Can you foster innovation and develop ground-breaking partnerships? If so, Hertfordshire County Council has the role for you.

We have already made great strides towards annual savings of around £200 million by 2015, whilst delivering excellent services for our 1.1 million residents. However, there is more to do. As a creative individual you will drive genuine change in how we do business for the longer term.

To succeed in this role you will need to build strong relationships with our strategic partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

A qualified accountant, you will fulfil the statutory role of Chief Financial Officer, and have the necessary skills and experience to manage a large corporate function with associated commercial arrangements and complex budgets.
