The holder of the role will support the Financial Reporting and Accounting team, with a focus on planning, coordinating and delivering Homes England's Annual Report and Financial Statements, ensuring they are prepared on time, to standard, are free from material misstatements and are given a clean audit opinion. Alongside this, the holder of the role will be responsible for monthly and quarterly departmental group reporting. Additionally, the role will support the design and delivery of key strategic projects including the implementation of a new core finance system and wider business systems. A bit about you…
As an experienced finance professional, you will understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative and inclusive way. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level, and able to establish good relationships with key stakeholders including internal delivery teams and the National Audit Office. You will be able to prioritise to ensure quality work is delivered on a timely basis, while being aware of, and escalating key risks. You will have experience of year end accounts production and audit, technical accountancy knowledge including IFRS, as well as experience with data interrogation and analysis in Excel. You will hold a recognised professional accountancy qualification, such as ACA, ACCA, CIPFA, or CIMA. Who are we?
Homes England: The Housing and Regeneration Agency We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built. How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come. What we offer...
As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you. Membership of the Homes and Communities Agency Pension Scheme, which is a contributory defined benefit scheme with the amount you receive on retirement based on your salary and years worked at the Agency. If you ever need a bit of extra help, we have a great employee assistance programme, financial wellbeing support and access to many great discounts with leading high street names. Our range of network groups are also there to support you to be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future. If you are a member of a professional body, we’ll pay for your membership and once you get your digital kit, you’ll be good to go. Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We work to a 50/50 office/home based model. Moving back into our office environments has enabled us to utilise our space and time together in the most collaborative way. We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications.
