Finance Officer

Job Title: Finance Officer
Job Type: Permanent
Duration: N/A
Number of Positions: 1
Number of Hours: 37   
Post Number: VAC 133
Based at: Headquarters Exeter

Host Force: As you are aware, the police forces of Devon & Cornwall and Dorset have established a Strategic Alliance to provide a single service within certain functions across the three counties. Some of our current departments will be hosted by Devon and Cornwall Police and others by Dorset Police. As a consequence employment in this advertised role may at some point transfer to Devon and Cornwall Police following the principles laid down by TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Regulations 2006). In most cases this will not necessitate a change in location. Proposals for which force is to ‘host’ a given function and the arrangements to implement any new structure across a business area are at various stages and applicants for this role will be updated accordingly throughout the recruitment process. 
 

Brief Purpose:
Perform central purchasing and exchequer activities for the Alliance with specific responsibility for sourcing (within contracts and non contract provision) goods and services including ICT, travel & accommodation provision, the administration and accurate processing and recording of payments, receipts and other financial transactions.  Dealing with the security of seized monies and providing financial support to major operations as required.

Although the post does not directly control a budget, decisions on where to spend money, expense claims to authorise, and whether a purchase should be authorised in line with policy all help deliver VFM.  However these staff face constant challenge from individuals in this respect.
