About Westminster
Westminster is home to some of the most diverse, vibrant and internationally recognised communities in the UK. As a council, we are committed to delivering excellent services, driving innovation, and ensuring value for money for our residents, businesses and visitors.
Our Finance team plays a vital role in supporting services across the organisation, providing expert financial insight, challenging assumptions, and helping shape decisions that improve outcomes for residents. This role sits at the heart of one of the Council's key strategic priorities: delivering effective and sustainable SEND services.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a motivated and commercially minded Finance Business Partner to support one of our most important transformation programmes, SEND Reforms.
SEND reforms are government-led changes to England's Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system aimed at providing earlier, more consistent and more inclusive support for children and young people, whilst improving outcomes and making the system more sustainable.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface between Finance and SEND Operations, providing financial insight, improving data quality and supporting better decision-making across services. Reporting to a Finance Manager, you will play a key role in supporting operational colleagues, strengthening financial governance and helping deliver the objectives of the SEND reform agenda.
Key Responsibilities
Work successfully across multiple projects and priorities, ensuring high-quality outputs are delivered accurately and on time.
Deliver timely and accurate financial information to support monthly closedown processes, balance sheet reconciliations and statutory reporting requirements.
Partner with SEND service managers and budget holders to provide financial and commercial advice on service plans, initiatives and projects.
Support the SEND Operations Team by improving financial understanding, reporting and governance arrangements.
Cleanse, reconcile and validate data across Eclipse, Power BI and financial systems to ensure consistency and accuracy of reporting.
Support benchmarking, cross-authority collaboration and continuous improvement initiatives.
Assist in financial modelling, analysis and business case development.
Build effective working relationships across Finance, Children's Services and wider Council teams.
