Why Join Well Life Clinic?

Most Financial Controller roles are about maintaining an existing finance function. This one is about helping to build one. Well Life Clinic is building a scalable neighbourhood healthcare platform that delivers NHS-funded and private healthcare services closer to patients, reducing pressure on hospitals and improving access to care.

As we continue to grow through new services, new locations and acquisitions, we are looking for a Financial Controller who wants to help build the financial infrastructure behind that growth.

Why This Role Matters

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will become the operational leader of the finance function. Your work will directly influence cashflow, revenue integrity, NHS debtor performance, billing accuracy and financial control as the business scales.

This is an opportunity to join early enough to shape the future organisation rather than inherit a mature corporate structure.

• Cashflow forecasting and working capital management
• NHS debtor management and commissioner payment disputes
• Private healthcare billing controls
• Revenue assurance and revenue leakage prevention
• Financial controls, governance and compliance
• Finance systems and process improvement
• Working with external accountants and bookkeeper

What Success Looks Like After 12 Months

• Finance operates with clear ownership and accountability
• Management reporting is reliable and timely
• NHS debtor performance has materially improved
• Revenue assurance controls are embedded
• Billing processes support future growth
• The CFO is focused on strategy, acquisitions and growth rather than operational finance
