The scheme sees local authorities across London come together annually, to recruit and train graduates who want to pursue a career in public finance.
It’s all about putting talented graduates through a secure, four-year programme that will form the first part of their journey towards senior management.
London Treasurers’ Graduate Finance Scheme
This is a bespoke rotational scheme, which will give you exposure to every element of local government finance, whilst attached to a specific local authority. The scheme has been carefully designed to maximise your potential with work varying from key corporate processes to advising senior management and challenging project initiatives. Your work will include but not be limited to, budget preparation and monitoring, payroll, pensions, treasury, systems, internal audit and accounting.
You will also be sponsored to study for the unique and prestigious Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) Professional Qualification.
This is more than just a way to achieve a great qualification and be paid to do it though. Being chosen for the scheme will allow you to influence key local authority decisions that matter to communities, enhancing people’s lives.
Our requirements
You can come from any degree background, as long as you have, or expect to achieve, a minimum of a 2:2 and have GCSE or equivalent Maths and English (Grade C or above). Strong numeric, writing, oral and presentation skills should also be part of who you are, as well as computer literacy and first-class time management skills.
Your formal qualifications aren’t the most important requirement though - your drive to succeed and desire to make a difference is. We want people who aren’t afraid of taking on a challenge, we want people who know they can make communities better and we want people who care about people and the work they are doing.
