Management Accountant

Whilst we welcome all applications from all suitable candidates, unfortunately, we will not be offering sponsorship for this role.

If you already work for HPFT on a health and care visa, you will NOT be able to transfer your visa to this role as this role is NOT eligible for Sponsorship

An opportunity has arisen to join the Management Accounts team within HPFT’s successful Finance Department at what is a time of significant challenge financially for the NHS, nationally and locally.

The Department is accredited at Level 1 with the national Future Focused Finance scheme, and registered for CPD with the professional accountancy bodies.

We continue to develop our team and the service we offer to best meet the needs of the organisation. The team is busy and task-focused, but is friendly and supportive; benefits include flexible working hours. Team members are encouraged to get to know the services they work with, and candidates should therefore have an interest in HPFT services.

The post requires someone who is highly numerate and IT-literate, with good knowledge of Microsoft Excel, and confident in learning and utilising various systems. The ideal candidate will be highly adaptable and pro-active; have excellent communication skills, spoken and written; and be able to explain financial issues and to influence others. There is a strong focus on both customer service and on data quality.

The post holder will be responsible for all management accounting tasks across a range of services, including covering for other members of the team. The role includes monthly accruals/pre-payments; approval of posts on TRAC; budget setting; budget monitoring; carrying out costings; and supporting business cases. In addition they will provide advice and training on financial issues and finance systems to budget holders and managers.

It is necessary to support managers and attend meetings across the Trust’s sites, so it is essential that candidates can drive and have their own transport, unless they have a disability.

Please note that interviews will be held in person and will include a test.

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ from the Care Quality Commission, and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.
