Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council – Accountant – Directorate Support

Location: Redcar / Hybrid
Contract: Full-time / Permanent
Salary: £44,075 – £46,142 (pay award pending plus benefits)
Employer: Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council

Thank you for your interest in joining Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council and our Finance Service.

Redcar & Cleveland, as a borough, has a bit of everything, at the one end being the welcome to North Yorkshire and the moors, at the other being at the economic centre of Tees Valley, with beautiful coastline sandwiched in between.

What makes the area what it is though, is the 136,500 people who live here and make it their home. It is the council’s job, alongside partners to provide vital public services which make a difference to these people.

The Accountant – Directorate Support role is integral to ensuring strong financial management across the Council’s services, with a unique focus on supporting the Tees Valley Energy Recovery Limited (TVERL) programme. You will work closely with budget holders and senior officers, providing financial analysis, supporting budget monitoring, and contributing to business cases and financial planning. In addition, you will play a key role in shaping financial processes and reporting for this major regional infrastructure project, offering a rare opportunity to gain exposure to complex, high-value activity while developing your technical expertise and building strong relationships across services.

We are particularly keen to attract experienced finance professionals from the public sector (local government, education, health or similar), who can bring strategic insight and quickly establish credibility within a complex environment. Experience supporting Waste management services would be highly advantageous.

At Redcar & Cleveland, we are proud of our supportive and flexible working environment. We are committed to developing our people, promoting wellbeing, and creating opportunities for professional growth. You will be joining a team that values innovation, embraces change, and works together to overcome financial challenges in a constructive and proactive way.
