Interim Section 151 Officer / Deputy S151

Company: Ambient People
Apply for the Interim Section 151 Officer / Deputy S151
Location: East Midlands
Job Description:

If you’re an experienced Section 151 Officer or Deputy with a local government background, I’d like to connect with you now, before the phones start ringing.

LGR is going to reshape local government finance across the Midlands in a way we haven’t seen in a generation. Councils will need experienced, credible senior finance leaders at short notice. People who already understand the statutory responsibilities, the political landscape, and what it means to carry the S151 function through periods of significant change.

We are actively building our network of interim Section 151 Officers, Deputy S151s, and CFOs with local government experience across the East and West Midlands. We have roles, and we will have more.

We want to hear from you if you have local government experience as:

  • Section 151 Officer
  • Chief Financial Officer (Local Government)
  • Deputy Section 151 Officer
  • Deputy Chief Financial Officer
  • Head of Finance (with S151 ambition or experience)

Connecting now, rather than just when you’re actively looking can help broaden your network, give you a better sense of the market and means you get the early call when new assignments go live.

Connect with me directly or email Joshua@ambientpeople.co.uk.
