Job Description

The right candidates will be experienced, confident, qualified accountants, as these roles will be key to effectively implementing our recent department restructure. There is up to 1.25 fte available and we are keen to hear from candidates who want to work part-time flexible hours, though we would also consider 1.00 full-time. Exact days and hours are open for discussion with applicants. The role will take a lead on reviewing the activities and reporting of one of our Business Units (SBUs), which each have c. £40m of expenditure budgets. Providing leadership, influence, regular reporting, and costing information to the SBU will be essential, in order to maintain financial grip and help support the Delivering Value (CIP) Programme.

There is likely to be a particular focus on Secondary Commissioning but this will form part of wider responsibilities that will require close working with both the SBU Management Accountant and Finance Business Partner. Training provision to non-finance staff will also be required as is the ability to travel to different sites throughout Hertfordshire, as well as Essex, Norfolk and Buckinghamshire.
