An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, highly motivated, enthusiastic professional to work in a high profile role within the Finance department at Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The successful candidate will be supporting at least one clinical area reporting to, and occasionally deputising for, the Head of Financial Management. They will be an integral part of the finance department as well as a key point of contact for the divisional team. The post holder will also be managing at least one member of staff, including supporting them in their career development and completing their annual appraisal.
This is an exciting time to join the finance team at ESTH, as the department looks to enhance the service it provides the Trust to aid decision making against the backdrop of needing to reduce corporate costs. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to provide financial support to high profile projects within the Trust, in a challenging but supportive environment.
Candidates must have worked within a complex and rapidly changing environment preferably with previous experience of NHS finances. Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills are essential to allow effective communication with a broad spectrum of stakeholders including divisional management teams, executive directors, clinicians and staff at all levels.
