Help Deliver a City on the Move

Sheffield is the core city at the heart of the South Yorkshire region, a major employment centre and hub for high-skilled jobs, global inward investment and knowledge-intensive businesses, with our economic reach extending across Yorkshire and over the Pennines into the North West.

It's an exciting time to join Sheffield City Council. Momentum is building across the city, with major investment programmes already underway alongside an ambitious 10 year Growth Plan that sets out Sheffield's vision for economic growth, regeneration and opportunity.

A key part of that vision is "A City on the Move", focused on improving connectivity, supporting sustainable growth and delivering transport infrastructure that enables people, businesses and communities to thrive. Working alongside partners including the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA), Sheffield is delivering significant investment in transport and infrastructure that will shape the city's future.

As a Senior Technician, you'll play a key role in turning that vision into reality, helping to develop and deliver transport schemes that support active travel, improve public transport, enhance road safety and unlock wider regeneration across the city.

The Role

Joining our Transport Projects Team, you will work within a multidisciplinary team delivering a wide range of highway and transport infrastructure projects across Sheffield.

You will be responsible for the development of concept and preliminary designs for transport schemes, often within constrained urban environments, helping to create practical and innovative solutions that balance engineering, operational and community needs.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Producing concept and preliminary highway and traffic engineering designs for transport schemes.
• Preparing technical drawings and consultation plans using AutoCAD and other design software.
• Supporting the development of active travel, walking, wheeling, cycling, road safety and public transport improvement schemes.
• Developing and processing Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs).
• Undertaking site inspections, surveys and technical assessments to support scheme development.
• Providing technical assurance and design support throughout project delivery.
• Supporting traffic management initiatives and providing technical advice to internal highways and development management teams.
• Engaging with residents, stakeholders and elected members through public consultations, meetings and engagement events.
• Contributing to city wide traffic management, highway classification and directional signage strategies.  

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on projects from initial concept through to delivery, gaining exposure to some of the most significant transport investment programmes currently taking place across Sheffield.

About You

We're looking for an experienced technician with a background in transport planning, traffic engineering, highways design or infrastructure delivery.

You will bring:

• Experience developing transport, highway or traffic engineering schemes.
• Strong technical design capabilities, including the use of AutoCAD or similar software.
• Knowledge of current highway design standards, traffic management principles and industry best practice,  
• Experience interpreting technical guidance and applying it to real-world engineering challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders, partners and the public.
• An HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Experience with traffic management design, TRO processes, active travel schemes or public realm projects would be particularly beneficial.

Why Sheffield?

Unlike many private sector roles, Sheffield City Council offers the opportunity to combine meaningful, city shaping transport work with an excellent work life balance, a highly competitive pension, flexible and hybrid working, and a strong commitment to employee wellbeing and professional development.

You'll also benefit from:

• The opportunity to contribute to over £100m of transport and infrastructure investment.
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements, typically with 2-3 office days per week.
• A highly competitive Local Government Pension Scheme.
• Generous annual leave and wellbeing support.

Head of Finance (Deputy Section 151 Officer), Nottinghamshire County Council

Salary: £74,703 – £83,664, plus Market Factor Supplement of £10,833 per annum

Contract: Permanent, Full Time

Location: Hybrid working / County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham

The Organisation

Nottinghamshire County Council is one of the largest local authorities in the country, providing more than 400 services to communities across Nottinghamshire.

This is an important and exciting time to join us. We have a new Council Plan for 2025–29, an ambitious programme for the future and a clear commitment to being an efficient, effective and forward-looking organisation – making the best use of our resources while continuing to deliver high-quality services for our residents.

We are also approaching the future from a position of relative financial strength. We have a strong track record of sound financial management, balanced budgets and timely accounts, alongside healthy reserves and headroom within our Medium-Term Financial Strategy. That provides a strong platform from which to respond to the financial, technological and structural changes facing local government.

Against that backdrop, we are now looking for an outstanding finance professional to join our senior leadership team as Deputy Section 151 Officer.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Director of Finance & Investment, this is one of the Council's most important senior finance leadership positions.

You will lead the Financial Services function, with responsibility for the Council's strategic financial planning, Medium Term Financial Strategy and annual budget; financial management and reporting; statutory accounts; capital programme; financial controls and accounting policy; and the provision of high-quality financial advice across the organisation. You will lead a service of around 59 FTE and play a central role in supporting the Director of Finance & Investment in the exercise of their statutory responsibilities.

You will inherit a capable team and a sound financial platform. Your opportunity will be to build on those strengths and help take the function forward.

There is a significant modernisation agenda ahead. The Council is implementing SAP S/4HANA, creating opportunities to rethink processes, make greater use of automation and emerging technologies, and further develop the capability and effectiveness of the finance function. You will have the opportunity to shape that journey rather than simply maintain established ways of working.

And beyond the finance function, you will be a trusted adviser to senior officers and elected Members. You will need to turn complex financial information into clear, practical advice; influence important decisions; provide constructive challenge where necessary; and ensure that financial considerations are properly understood as the Council determines its priorities for the future.

You will also join Nottinghamshire at a time of wider change for local government. The precise shape and timetable of Local Government Reorganisation continues to evolve, but whatever comes next, strong financial leadership will be fundamental to ensuring Nottinghamshire is well positioned for the future. The Council Plan itself identifies LGR and the development of a future operating model as significant organisational priorities.

For an ambitious finance leader, there is another important dimension to the opportunity. This is a genuine Deputy S151 role, providing close exposure to the statutory CFO agenda and the opportunity to further develop your experience and credentials for a future Section 151 appointment.

Candidates

We are looking for a fully CCAB-qualified finance professional with a strong understanding of local government finance.

You are likely already to be operating in a senior finance leadership position and, given the scale, breadth and complexity of Nottinghamshire, possess experience from within a large and complex organisation would be particularly valuable.

You will need strong technical foundations across strategic financial management, financial planning and budgeting, statutory accounting and the wider local government finance framework. But technical expertise alone won't be enough.

We are particularly interested in your ability to communicate, influence and exercise judgement. You will be comfortable explaining complex financial issues to people who are not finance specialists, including senior officers and elected Members. You will know when to support and when to challenge, and you will have the confidence and professional credibility to speak truth to power when required.

As a leader, you will be collaborative, supportive and able to get the best from a talented professional team. We are looking for someone with ambition and drive, but also the interpersonal skills and judgement to build trusted relationships across the organisation.

You don't necessarily need to have been a Deputy S151 Officer already. What matters is that you have the technical grounding, leadership capability and organisational credibility to operate at this level – and the potential and ambition to develop further.

Why Nottinghamshire?

There are many senior finance opportunities across local government at present. What makes this one different is the platform you will inherit and the opportunity that comes with it.

You can join a financially sound organisation and a capable team; work directly alongside an experienced Section 151 Officer; lead a significant finance function; help modernise the service through new technology; operate at the heart of some of the Council's most important decisions; and further develop the breadth of experience required to become a Section 151 Officer yourself.

For the right person, this is both an opportunity to make an immediate contribution to one of the country's largest councils and an excellent next step in a senior local government finance career.

Next Steps

If you are an ambitious senior finance professional and this opportunity sounds like the right next step for you, we would be very pleased to hear from you.

Salary: £60,573 to £62,766

Market Supplement: £7,437 (annually reviewed)

Golden Hello: £3,000 (external applicants)

Working Pattern: Hybrid working

Location: We expect you to attend the Merton offices once a week on the team day which for this team is every Tuesday. Beyond that, there is considerable flexibility with the option of remote working and/or hot desking across partner boroughs

Optional: 9‑day working fortnight available for those that choose it – this is a compressed hours scheme where you work your full two-week contracted hours over nine working days instead of ten.

If you are an experienced procurement or contracts lawyer considering a move that offers high quality work, professional autonomy and a healthier work life balance, the South London Legal Partnership (SLLP) could be the right next step.

SLLP is the shared in-house legal service for the London Boroughs of Merton, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton, Wandsworth and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, providing legal advice at scale across South West London.

What does this “shared service” role mean for you?

Instead of working within the in-house legal team of just one council, you will join a centralised ‘partnership’ team which acts as the internal legal department for all five local authorities. As a SLLP lawyer, you are employed by our host borough (Merton) but advice is delivered to all five partner councils. This partnership model offers you the stability, work/life balance and public sector purpose of a supportive in-house local authority, combined with the fast-paced, well-resourced and highly diverse caseload of a commercial practice, including the opportunity to work on complex and high-profile matters.

This is a newly upgraded role, designed for an expert level procurement lawyer. You will join a small specialist team within the shared service, reporting to a Principal Lawyer, and you will not have any line management duties. The role is advisory focused and non-contentious, allowing you to concentrate on delivering high quality legal advice including on complex, cross-team and high-profile cases.

Main areas of the role include:

• Acting as a trusted expert in public procurement law, including on the Procurement Act 2023, PCR 2015 and Subsidy Control Act 2022.
• Managing a diverse and extensive public procurement law caseload with autonomy and responsibility.
• Drafting, reviewing and advising on a wide range of commercial and public sector contracts, including for frameworks, services, concessions and construction contracts.
• Advising officers and elected members on a wide range of issues impacting local government procurement, including decision-making and governance, contract standing orders, subsidy control and contractual risk.
• Supporting and deputising for the Principal Lawyer and Head of Law as required.
• Contributing to knowledge‑sharing across the service, including acting as a training principal / PSL style resource.
• Providing clear, effective and pragmatic legal advice within a public facing environment.

This role does not involve litigation, so you will not be expected to attend at court, but you will be expected to advise on procurement challenges and work collaboratively with Litigation colleagues at short notice, as and when needed.

About You

You must be a qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive (or have equivalent experience) with solid experience in public procurement law.  Your background may be in-house at a local authority or other public sector body or from private practice acting for such bodies; prior in-house experience is not essential.

You will have a minimum of 3 years PQE experience in public procurement law and will be proficient at running your own caseload without supervision. You will have excellent drafting, communication, and client care skills and demonstrate that you have built excellent working relationships with clients and colleagues. You will be approachable, supportive, comfortable working closely with others and willing to share your expertise within a collaborative team.

What We Offer

• A wide and varied public procurement law workload with an opportunity to work on complex and high profile matters
• Hybrid working with only one team day per week in the office
• A supportive, experienced team
• The opportunity to do meaningful legal work that directly impacts residents

·        SLLP offers hybrid working, a 9‑day working fortnight (i.e. a compressed hours scheme where you work your full two-week contracted hours over nine working days instead of ten), one team day per week in the Merton office, flexible use of offices across partner boroughs, and a genuine commitment to good work life balance while maintaining high professional standards.
