Tamworth Co-operative is a successful regional independent Co-op, with interests in Food retailing, Funeral operations and property investments. The Society is profitable and has a strong Balance Sheet built upon a history that goes back to 1886. The Society has recently relocated its Head Office to a fully refurbished building in the centre of Tamworth following the sale of its former Department Store to the Local Council for re-development.
We are now seeking a fully qualified Accountant to join our Senior Team as a Head of Finance & Administration. Applicants must be capable of managing a busy workload and ensuring the maintenance of financial controls. The Society has a turnover of £29m annually, with around 300 employees. The role is very hands on and candidates must be able to work on their own initiative.
This is a demanding and challenging role. It requires excellent communication skills at all levels. Candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to plan and manage key tasks such as Year End reporting and a detailed annual budgeting process. The role also requires production of annual Accounts for the Pension Scheme that closed to future accrual in 2009. This is a full time office based role.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. Salary is negotiable according to experience up to £74,599 with a separate car allowance of £5,416 per annum.
