Issue details

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.
