As a member of the Financial Management Team, you will lead in the provision of comprehensive high-quality financial support across the Trust to the Group Management teams, individual budget holders and other relevant colleagues both internal and external to the Trust, as well as manage and provide support and development to staff.
Main duties of the job
The ideal applicant will possess in-depth and extensive experience of working in financial management environments, preferably in the NHS. The candidate will be responsible for leading and developing their own team, promoting change and improvements within the workplace and working closely with senior members of the Finance team.

Working for our organisation
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding.
