Job summary

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated individual to join the finance team and contribute to a forward thinking, quality focused organisation and will provide excellent experience to someone who is looking to progress their career in finance.

The role is the Deputy Business Accountant for the Integrated Care Division. This is a unique opportunity to experience a finance role that spans both health and adult social care in a truly integrated organisation, working with colleagues within the NCA but also in Salford City Council and the newly formed NHS GM.

This is a pivotal role to contribute to helping the organisation to ensure it maintains its high quality of clinical services whilst identifying ways in which to safely reduce costs.

As Deputy Business Accountant you must be able to work independently and lead a small team with the support of the Business Accountant.

This post offers an excellent opportunity for career development and learning.

For applicants not fully qualified, please ensure you clearly indicate what stage of your financial qualification you are at and how many examinations you have left. If it is not clear on the application that you are qualified or a finalist then your application will not be progressed.

You will be a CCAB qualified or finalist with management experience (previous experience in the NHS is not required).

Main duties of the job

The post holder will lead the day-to-day activities of the team and have responsibility for their own portfolio of work providing key financial support to key areas with the division.

The post holder will support the organisation's aims and objectives by ensuring a high-quality finance service is delivered to the division to allow for continuous improvement. The successful candidate will be flexible and responsive to change.

The post holder will oversee all elements of the financial month end processes ensuring all key deadlines are met by themselves and their team.

The role involves working closely with colleagues, both in finance, the organisation and with external partners. The role will support the finance department in the process of meeting its objectives. This includes the preparation of budgetary and reporting systems, and implementing procedures that enable effective financial management and efficient use of resources.

You will be proactive and highly motivated with strong IT skills, competent in the use of Microsoft Office and a computerised ledger system.

You will also require a good understanding of the accounting function and should also be able to plan your workload in order to meet strict and conflicting deadlines.

You will on occasion be expected to deputise for the Business Accountant and attend meetings with senior colleagues to present key information.
