Job description

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.

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.

As a Junior Finance Business Partner you will be supporting business leaders by providing accurate financial insight, planning, and reporting to enable informed decision‑making. Working closely with operational and central teams, the role contributes to the achievement of organisational objectives through sound financial governance, analysis, and advice.

Salary : Up to £45,000 per year

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 will have strong skills in financial planning, reporting, and analysis, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into meaningful insight. Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills are key, as is the confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels. You will be highly organised, able to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines, and proficient in Excel and financial systems. A commercial mindset and a passion for driving efficiency and value are essential. The role requires a willingness to travel, so a full driving licence is necessary.

Ideally, you'll hold or be working towards a professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), and have previous experience in health, social care, or public sector finance. Knowledge of financial risk management in regulated environments and experience in process improvement, automation, or systems change projects would be advantageous.
