We are making some big changes at BTP, and right now there is a great opportunity to join an organisation that is committed to modernising itself.  As a member of the Finance team, you will be pivotal in driving this change forwards, starting with Finance itself.

BTP is the national police Force for the rail network throughout Great Britain, across which we ensure the safety and security of nearly 3 billion passenger journeys and over 100 million tons of freight every year. The world in which we work is fast-paced, operationally and commercially demanding, and constantly changing.   The front line is supported by a hard-working and reactive org support function, covering Finance, Commercial, Estates services, and People and Culture.  Our org support teams ensure that our front line is effective at doing its job.

We are in the midst of a significant restructure across our org support functions, where we will be moving to a stronger business partnering approach, removing much of the transactional activity carried out today, with a focus on delivering more strategic level support.  We will have an ongoing drive for continuous improvement in our processes, outputs, and ways of working.  We are commencing a challenging journey of cultural change within Finance, and as a force more widely. 

We need proactive, and driven, Finance professionals who up for the challenge of driving real cultural change in the organisation.
