An exciting opportunity has arisen within our growing Service Finance Team, and we're looking for a proactive and detail‑oriented Finance Business Partner to join us. This key role will focus on supporting our Management Accounting function, with particular emphasis on monitoring, reporting, and controlling spend within the Adults Services external care market.
