Job summary
NHS England Midlands works with 40 NHS providers, five ICB clusters and national NHS and DHSC teams. It provides strategic leadership to deliver reform and transformation under the NHS 10-Year Health Plan. It also oversees regional performance across finance, quality, access, productivity, and population health.
The NHS Midlands Finance team collaborates with partners to lead the development and delivery of revenue and capital plans. It oversees provider and ICB budgets, assesses financial risks, supports organisations facing challenges, shares good practice and takes regulatory action when needed.
Main duties of the job
We are seeking a qualified accountant with finance experience in the NHS or a related public healthcare organisation to join our Midlands Operational Finance Directorate.
You will support financial planning and performance management across NHS organisations in the Midlands. You will understand current NHS financial frameworks and targets, manage competing priorities and deadlines, and direct the work of teams or individuals.
You will have strong financial analysis skills to support the senior finance team with financial recovery, planning, business cases, assurance, regulatory oversight, productivity, transformation, and improvement.
You will join an experienced and supportive regional finance team with strong professional networks and development opportunities.
The role also offers exposure to senior finance leaders and decision making and we are looking for someone with relevant financial experience who has led finance teams and has a strong commitment to NHS values and purpose.
About us
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.
