The person

We are looking for someone who has full membership of an accounting body recognised by the Financial Reporting Council, has excellent analytical, numerical, and problem-solving skills, and has significant experience within a management accounting function. As the scope of the role is wide ranging, experience as a Financial Controller or similar position would be beneficial.

We work with doctors, patients, and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors and those who train them need to meet and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

• 30 days holiday with the option to buy and sell more
• A generous employer pension contribution of 15%
• Access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to support your ongoing progression
