Project Finance Manager - Adult Social Care Transformation

Fixed Term 12 Months

Full Time

Do you want to help us in our mission to support Richmond and Wandsworth residents to lead longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives?

Our Adult Social Care and Public Health Transforming Social Care (TSC) Programme aims to integrate health and care, improve our social care operating model to respond to increased demand, support local care markets to become more sustainable, develop a high-performing workforce, and accelerate digital innovation. The programme is underpinned by medium-term efficiency proposals for both boroughs. Our vision is to transform services in Adult Social Care and Public Health to focus on prevention and early intervention, enabling individuals and their carers to build on their strengths, promote wellbeing, and achieve their desired outcomes, while delaying and reducing the need for long-term support from the Council. We need your help to meet this vision!

As the Project Finance Manager, you will work alongside a diverse team leading various projects. You should have a proven track record in benefits management activities, including benefits modelling, profiling, tracking, and reporting, ideally within a programme environment. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract.

About the role

The purpose of this role is to oversee and be responsible for delivering the medium-term efficiency and savings proposals supporting the TSC programme. The Project Finance Manager will track and manage the performance of each workstream in delivering quantifiable benefits. The role reports to the Assistant Director of Finance and collaborates closely with the Programme Team (Project Officer and Programme Manager), Finance Officers, and each Workstream Lead.

The Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Public Health (ASCPH) is the SRO of the programme, and the Finance and Benefits Manager reports to the Programme Board, a monthly Senior Management Team meeting. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in tracking and delivering savings and benefits programmes in the public sector, a relevant finance qualification, and preferably a good understanding of local government, particularly adult social care.

Essential Qualifications, Skills, and Experience:

• Experience: Proven experience in providing strategic advice and support to senior managers on finance-related matters, including finance, business case development, and benefit tracking methodologies. Ability to lead the design, planning, and scoping of project and programme benefits.
• Knowledge: Thorough understanding of challenges affecting local government finance and adult social care service delivery.
• Communication: High-level communication skills, including the ability to influence, negotiate, and present complex financial information effectively to diverse audiences.
• Collaboration: Experience working successfully with stakeholders at all levels to deliver and demonstrate transformational change.
• Financial Modelling: Expert proficiency in MS Excel and other data tools to design and build financial models for decision-making and reporting at senior management level.

Ideally, candidates will have a strong understanding of local government, adult social care, NHS healthcare, and hold relevant finance qualifications or equivalent experience.
