New Opportunities In Finance At Essex

The public sector is changing. We live in an extraordinarily challenging financial climate and the pressure on front line services cannot be underestimated. However, the appetite for innovation and to do things differently is unprecedented. As Essex County Council seeks to look at how we commission all our services, the opportunities for joined up working and innovation will continue to grow.

We want leaders who are comfortable being at the forefront of innovation in service delivery – influencing senior decision makers and advising budget holders on the most efficient use of reduced resources. And you'll enable us to deliver quality, value for money services for the people of Essex.

Visit our website here to find out more and how to apply.

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 1st August 2012.

Essex County Council has been accredited with the 2 Tick Disability Symbol, which recognises the Council's commitment to good practice in employing people with disabilities. Essex is committed to interviewing all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria.
