This role offers the chance to develop your career in a fast paced, complex and rewarding environment, where we actively support our staff’s learning and development.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, the post holder will be responsible for ensuring the development of and implementation of finance strategies and processes which support the wider organisation’s clinical and other strategies.

You will manage a team in providing a comprehensive financial management service to ensure effective budgetary control and financial balance, demonstrating your proactive approach, initiative and ability to prioritise workload.

Living / Working in Tayside

Tayside offers award-winning towns and cities, breath taking beaches and alluring countryside. Historically rich and home to Scotland’s longest river, Tayside is an innovative and exciting place to begin or expand your career.

Dundee, Angus and Perth and Kinross make up this vibrant region - between them offering the perfect blend of city, country and coastline. In fact, you can easily enjoy the tranquillity and scenery of neighbouring towns and villages within reach of the region’s cities of Dundee and Perth.

Dundee is innovative, creative and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other Scottish city. Rich heritage, countryside splendour and thriving industries are abundant and is encapsulated the Dundee’s slogan, ‘One City, Many Discoveries’.

Eligibility to Work in the UK

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visas as well as EU settled and pre-settled status.

For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licensed Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the minimum salary threshold.

It is essential that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.

Further Details

This post is full time 36 hours and requires the successful candidate to be primarily office based; however flexible hours / working will be considered.
