Accounts Receivable Manager

Applications are invited from motivated and enthusiastic individuals to work as a member of the Accounts Receivable team.

The post holder will work as a member of a team responsible for providing an income/credit management and control service to the Trust over its entire range of activities (including Overseas Visitors, Private Patients, Nursery and Research) and also provides financial debt and governance advice to all Clinical and Corporate Directorates.

We spend around £1.5 billion each year to provide over two million patient episodes, and it is essential that we have the best team helping and supporting us in being the best organisation we can possibly be. To help us do this we are now seeking an Accounts Receivable Manager within the Accounts Receivable team.

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (STH) is one of the best providers of healthcare in the country with an outstanding reputation for saving lives and caring for patients and helping thousands of people every day. Our teams work with health and social care partners across the whole of South Yorkshire, East Midlands and nationally, and with a range of other key local “anchor institutions” such as the City Council and the Universities, to make a difference to local people, their health and wellbeing.

The new postholder will work closely with a friendly and supportive team as well as clinical and corporate colleagues to support a first-class Finance team to ensure we provide the best possible care to patients and deliver the best value for money for the people of Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond. An effective working knowledge of IT packages and MS Windows, and strong numerical and team working skills are essential. Excellent communication skills and the ability to meet tight deadlines are vital. NHS experience and knowledge is desirable but not essential.

We are committed to recruiting and developing a diverse pool of talented people who want to be part of making STH a thriving and PROUD* place to work and ensuring we continue to flourish and succeed in improving the lives of the people we are proud to serve. If we sound like the kind of organisation you would like to work in, we would be delighted to speak to you about this role.

You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.

STH is the largest employer in the region and we are committed to providing a great place to work for all our staff across our hospitals and community services. We are a highly vibrant organisation with some of the highest levels of staff retention of any major employer in the country and our staff consistently rate us as a safe and supportive place to work.

Treating our staff well is at the heart of who we are as an employer and we provide first class salary packages including above average holiday entitlement and a wide range of flexible benefits such as an excellent pension scheme, childcare and holiday clubs, education and development opportunities, staff discounts on a wide range of products, shops and services, as well as car parking and great accessibility on public transport.
