The Police and Crime Commissioner is seeking an exceptional Chief Finance Officer to take up an exciting role as part of his team in North Wales. You will be joining a high performing team and play a role in improving the lives of local residents through delivery of the Police and Crime Plan.

The key purpose of the role is to ensure that the organisation's financial affairs, governance and risk are properly administrated and that sound management arrangements are in place.

The Chief Finance Officer also acts as strategic financial advisor to the Police and Crime Commissioner and supports the Chief Executive in delivery of the Commissioner's vision, strategy and identified priorities, advising on the financial implications of policy options and allocation of resources. The post fulfils the requirements of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 and is therefore a statutory and politically restrictive role.

Demonstrate an understanding of the role and statutory duties of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Demonstrate an understanding of the CIPFA Statement on the Role of the Chief Finance Officer
Demonstrate an understanding of the Financial Management Code of Practice for the Police Service of England and Wales

DESIRABLE

The role will involve the postholder travelling throughout the Force area (and beyond in some instances) and the postholder will therefore be required to have access to transport.

All posts are based at Colwyn Bay. Further particulars are available from the Police and Crime Commissioner's office at North Wales Police HQ, Glan y Don, Colwyn Bay, Conwy, LL29 8AW.

Interviews will be held between 4th and 13th November 2026 at North Wales Police Headquarters.
