Health (Strategic Health Authorities, NHS Trusts, Primary Care Trusts, Mental Health Trusts, Ambulance trusts, Private provision)

There are a wide number of health sector finance specialists within the various NHS Trusts, Strategic health authorities and private provisions. However we know that what all of these have in common is that it is imperative they account properly for all financial elements of the service as the scrutiny they are under, due to both political and social factors, is immense.

For example Select Accountancy regularly registers candidates who want to work for and/or have experience of working for:

• Strategic health authorities
• NHS Trusts
• Primary care trusts
• Mental health trusts
• Ambulance trusts
• Private Provision

The wide range of organisations that fall under the umbrella of the NHS is also reflected by the wide range of job roles and job we are asked to search for. Common NHS finance and accounting registered candidate job titles include:

• Finance officers
• Payroll officers
• Accountants
• Finance Managers
• Head of finance

However the majority of candidates fall into the financial management category, albeit with a range of different job titles and sub positions. We know from speaking to clients that they want professionals who can:

• Utilise financial systems
• Prepare and maintain ledger accounts
• Administer payroll, benefits and pensions
• Preparing reports (financial) and presenting these internally and externally.
• Auditing finances
• Managing budgets
• Prepare management information

Select Accountancy continuously registers professionals for health organisations. Therefore if you wish to employ accountancy support staff, part-qualified and qualified accountancy and finance professionals, whether that is with the traditional CIPFA qualification or an ACCA, ACA, ICAS or CIMA qualification, we will be able to offer a number of options.
