Purpose

This report requests the establishment of two
career graded Graduate Accountant posts be established within the
finance service structure funded by disestablishing two vacant
Senior Accountant roles within the current structure for a period
of three years.

These posts would form part of the Council’s Graduate offer
and enhance the ability for the service to “grow our
own”, providing practical local government experience whilst
supporting the successful candidates through their accountancy
qualification.

The establishment of these Graduate posts are one of the key
factors in looking at a re-energised operating model for a finance
service of the future.
