The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council – a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London, excellent transport links and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse.

The role

This is an exciting time to join our finance team at the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We are looking to build a world-class finance team to support all our services and strengthening the finance team to meet future demands is a priority.

The role is full time but we are open to discussions with suitable applicants who wish to work part-time, term-time or job share.

What we offer:

• 32 days annual leave.
• Generous Local Government Pension scheme includes life cover (3 times of annual salary); and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.
