Finance Systems Analyst

NHS AfC: Band 5

Job overview

To support the Head & Deputy Head of Finance Systems & Reporting with the management and development of the finance system and any associated monitoring and reporting.

To ensure that financial information provided for statutory returns is processed according to Trust procedures, and that it is accurate and complete. 

To provide summary financial information for input into the Trust Board reporting, external monitoring returns, and any other reporting requirements.

Main duties of the job

Roles at this level require someone demonstrating a commitment to studying (AAT member or equivalent) with good finance and business experience. In addition, the post holder will require in depth knowledge of general ledger and other financial reporting and monitoring systems in order to participate fully in maintenance, development and reporting within the department.

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. Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
