Vacancies

The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner is seeking to appoint a number of people who either live or work in the Solihull area to work collaboratively as part of his new Advisory Panel.

The Advisory Panel will provide advice, challenge, guidance and support, to the Police and Crime Commissioner. It will be a structured and collaborative way for the Police and Crime Commissioner to engage with external stakeholders and advisors.

It will support us by reinforcing known and ongoing concerns, gaining new insights and providing a forum for stimulating, robust and challenging discussion. This is not a decision-making Board, but it will provide current knowledge, critical thinking and expertise, that will support holding to account and decision making by the PCC.

Persons appointed as Advisory Panel Members will not be members of the Commissioner’s staff.  A flat rate of £357 will be paid per meeting, this will include all preparation for the meeting. Successful applicants will need to agree to a Volunteer Agreement.

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner holds the West Midlands Police to account for its Policing outcomes and its value for money in the spending of its £0.75Bn budget. Our challenge is to ensure that both the Force and the OPCC spend all funds as efficiently and effectively as possible whilst maximising the value to frontline services. We are looking for a capable graduate or AAT qualified individual to join our team so that we can successfully support you to gain the CIPFA chartered accounting qualification.

Our finance apprenticeship programme will develop your leadership and expertise to provide sound financial management and advice that is critical to effective financial management in the public sector. The public sector is a huge employer and in most areas the NHS, local government and Policing are in the top 5 largest employers.  But although we expect you to have a strong commitment to the public sector, you should know that CIPFA partners with ICAEW and qualified CIPFA members can also apply for the ACA designation.

We expect you to be curious, capable, self-motivated and able to think both strategically and master the technical details of accounting. It’s a distinctive blend and most Chief Finance Officers in the public sector hold the CIPFA qualification.
