* Act as corporate guardian for budgets and efficiency targets, ensuring compliance with public finance standards and protecting the Accounting Officer.
* Provide strategic financial guidance to the Chief Executive and Executive Team, enabling robust planning, spending reviews, and business partnering.
* Drive financial governance and value, ensuring strong internal controls, timely reporting, commercial acumen, and evidence-based decision-making
