Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic finance trainee to join the Trust's Finance Team, playing a key role in shaping what our service delivery looks like and making a difference in the challenging financial environment, both now and in the future.
The successful candidate will support Offender Health within the Trust’s Community & Specialist Services care Group and provide comprehensive financial advice and support to managers to understand the efficiency and effectiveness of resources within their control. They will need to support the Finance Partners to deal with conflicting priorities and ensure that financial opportunities and risks are quantified and understood at all levels of the Trust, and optimum value for money is achieved.
Main duties of the job
The Transitional Management Account will support the Finance Partners to liaise closely with Divisional and Trust stakeholders. You will be responsible for providing accurate financial advice, information, and support to service managers within the designated Services, using a business-oriented accounting approach.
They should have excellent communication skills and the necessary personal qualities to engage effectively with service managers and their teams. We are looking to bring in fresh views and new practices, so, whilst previous NHS experience can be a strength, we are also keen to hear from those who have never considered working for the NHS before.
The applicant should currently be studying for their AAT qualification or equivalent. Continued reasonable progression toward professional qualification is encouraged in this role. Upon completion of AAT or equivalent, as well as meeting the requirements of the competency framework, the post holder would be uplifted from band 4 to band 5.
