Management Accountant

Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Mansfield

GBP 25,000 - 45,000

Job description

We are looking for an enthusiastic finance professional (Certificate level CCAB/CGMA, full member of AAT, or a Finance or Accounting degree) to join the Trusts Finance Team, playing a key role in shaping what our service delivery looks like and making a difference in the challenging financial environment, both now and in the future.

The successful candidate will support the Trust’s Corporate Services Team and provide comprehensive financial advice and support managers to understand the efficiency and effectiveness of resources within their control. They will need to support the Finance Partners to deal with conflicting priorities and ensure that financial opportunities and risks are quantified and understood at all levels of the Trust, and optimum value for money is achieved.

We will consider applicants who are currently studying Certificate level CCAB/CGMA, AAT, or a Finance or Accounting degree, to start as a Transitional Management Accountant on Band 4.

Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.

The Management Accountant will support the Finance Partners to liaise closely with Divisional and Trust stakeholders. They will be responsible for providing accurate financial advice, information and support to service managers within the designated Services, using a business orientated accounting approach.

They should have excellent communication skills and the necessary personal qualities to engage effectively with service managers and their teams. We are looking to bring in fresh views and new practices so, whilst previous NHS experience can be a strength, we are also keen to hear from those who have never considered working for the NHS before.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.

We deliver intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic, and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and South Yorkshire.

We are one of the largest mental health and community Trusts in the East Midlands and one of Nottinghamshire's biggest employers. We also host national and regional services, such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

We offer a variety of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) groups, the Green Champions network, the Freedom to Speak Up network, the Health and Wellbeing Champions network, and the Menopause Champions network. These networks play a vital role in supporting our diverse workforce and promoting a culture of inclusivity.

The health and wellbeing of our colleagues is a top priority. We invest significantly in this through our in-house occupational health and staff counselling services, supported by a dedicated Health and Wellbeing team.

The Trust is committed to reducing its carbon emissions, with a specialised Energy and Environmental team working to ensure compliance with environmental legislation, enhance our environmental performance, and achieve our net-zero commitment.
