Inclusion and diversity


The Northern Ireland Office strives to be an inclusive employer and is recognised by its staff and externally as being an employer where Diversity and Inclusion are valued.

We hold a Diversity & Inclusion Charter Mark and are an accredited Disability Confident Leader organisation.


In March 2018 we won the award for Best Employer for Diversity & Equality in Northern Ireland (small employer category) in a Gala Award ceremony hosted by Legal-Island, a multi-award winning workplace compliance company based in Northern Ireland.

We have an active D&I network supporting colleagues through D&I Advocates, championed by our Directors.


We want all our people to feel valued for who they are and we are confident that you will find the NIO a warm, welcoming and inclusive place to work.


What we do

We have a wide range of responsibilities, including:

underpinning political stability in Northern Ireland; overseeing the Northern Ireland devolution settlement; leading on national security policy in Northern Ireland; addressing the legacy of Northern Ireland's past; delivering elections and constitutional reform in Northern Ireland; playing a key role in rebalancing the NI economy; representing NI interests, including on the border with Ireland, following the exit from the EU.

Our small size and diverse portfolio create a stimulating, fast-paced and challenging working environment, with regular engagement with a range of Ministers and senior officials.

We support flexible working and have a modern, flexible IT system which helps enable this.


ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is one of two SEO Finance Business Partners in the Northern Ireland Office.

You will lead on providing Finance Business Partnering support to our core business areas and sponsored bodies which cover a range of policy areas.


We are a small department, so this role offers the opportunity to get involved in a far wider portfolio of work than might otherwise be the case in larger departments.

  • Deliver the annual financial management lifecycle, supporting strategic financial planning, budget setting, variance analysis and investigation, reporting informed forecasting, and monthly management accounts.
  • Advise the Board, Executive Committee, Ministers, and SCS through reporting and briefings, including on the department's financial position and risks.
  • Manage the department's relationship with HM Treasury Spending Team, including regular engagement and managing the Mains Estimates, Supplementary Estimates, and Spending Review processes.
  • Provide finance project support to high priority projects across the Department, to ensure they are run in a financially sound, rigorous way.
  • Support and challenge teams in developing business cases and investment appraisals.
  • Continuously improve service delivery through feedback from our customers.
  • Actively seek to streamline processes in order to drive efficiency both within Finance and for internal clients

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:


  • Full CCAB/CIMA qualified accountant
  • Experience in managing and analysing budgets, forecasts, and financial plans
  • Experience of building positive and effective working relationships across a wide range of stakeholders
