The Transformation Directorate Finance Partner team in the NHS England Finance and Planning Directorate is now recruiting for a band 7 Senior Finance ...
The finance partner team delivers comprehensive support to high profile, fast-paced delivery projects and services. This requires adaptability, rigor and innovation and provides exciting development opportunities for those developing their careers in the NHS, health or the public sector.
Below are the types of skills and experience that we are looking for. Even if you feel you only meet some of the criteria, we encourage you to apply.
- Finance partnering experience of pro-actively initiating and promoting discussions with stakeholders.
- Using advanced analytical skills in reviewing and evaluating financial data.
- Producing monthly, quarterly, and annual and ad-hoc analysis and reports to inform senior decision making.
- Accurately preparing, analysing, and presenting data from a variety of sources using Excel and/or other reporting solutions.
- Developing and managing strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- Ensuring segregation of duties, and compliance with schemes of delegation.
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.
Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.
Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
