THREE new assistant director posts worth almost £300,000 have been advertised by Barnet Council as they bid to tackle “unprecedented times of change”.

All of the jobs are in finance and have been posted on website PFJobs.com, with the description saying “We need to be creative, enabling, with balanced risk taking, whilst maintaining robust stewardship of increasingly tight resources”.

It adds: “We need people who can create new models, for types of organisation and partnership forms that don’t yet exist anywhere else.”

The assistant director of strategic finance job, which boasts a salary of £110,000, entails “management of the corporate business planning process” and managing the council's “transformation programme”.

A new assistant director of financial services will be responsible for “creating a high performing culture that drives improvement and efficiency savings,” for £90,000-a-year.

The last post, an audit and risk management assistant directorship, will be “essential to meet the challenges to come” and also comes with a £90,000 salary.
