Charges Accountant

Join us in shaping the future of regulatory services at Natural Resources Wales.

As a Charges Accountant, you’ll play a pivotal role in developing charging schemes that generate £50m annually—around 20% of NRW’s funding.

Working within a specialist team, you’ll collaborate across directorates, Evidence, Policy & Permitting, Operations, Finance, Corporate Services, and with external partners to design processes that support evolving regulatory needs. Your work will include creating guidance, delivering staff training, and ensuring our charging schemes remain fit for purpose.

You’ll lead on building evidence-based proposals for full cost-recovery charges, supporting public consultations, and securing sustainable funding for the long term. This includes reviewing NRW’s statutory consultee role and other regulatory areas to ensure compliance and efficiency.

Additionally, you’ll contribute to our annual regulatory service plan, helping us deliver the high standards our stakeholders expect.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

This is a fixed term role until 30 September 2028
