In this example, you would work closely with the head of finance and:
- establish systems and processes to enable the timely and accurate delivery of monthly management accounts and budget information
- be involved in the annual budget setting process
- provide ongoing support and direction for the budget holders
- investigate and report on variances
- be involved in ad hoc projects and reports (eg contributing to the five-year business planning processes and large scale business cases for build projects and transforming service delivery)
- work with budget managers on cost improvement and service transformation projects
As a Divisional Finance Partner you will do all of the above, but as part of a multi-disciplinary team within a clinical area of the organisation. The make up of the team is similar to that of an Exec Board with a lead Consultant, lead Nurse/Midwife/AHP, General Manager and a HR Lead and will cover an area such as Elective Care, Family Health or Diagnostics.
