Junior Finance Business Partner

Since 1989, we've supported adults of all ages to maintain their independence and stay in the place they know and love. Because, life is better at home. Helping Hands is the nation's most widely rated home care provider and the only one to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care. We have over 150 branches across England and Wales as well as our Support Office in Alcester, Warwickshire. We're now looking for a Junior Finance Business Partner to join our team in Alcester.

Salary: Competitive

Main Responsibilities

• Support the delivery of sustainable, person-centred services by embedding financial awareness, planning, and cost control in operational decision-making.
• Assist with the preparation of accurate and timely financial reports, forecasts, and KPIs to inform divisional and functional strategies.
• Analyse service performance and financial data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities, providing actionable recommendations to improve outcomes.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of divisional/functional business plans, ensuring alignment with overall corporate objectives.
• Help drive improvements in reporting processes, including automation and the use of AI to generate operational insights.

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll bring experience from a finance position with exposure to business partnering or financial analysis. You'll have strong skills in financial planning, reporting, and analysis, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into meaningful insight.
