We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

Assist in the production of regular monthly management reports detailing actual performance against plan, analysing, interpreting and reporting any variances as requested, and including processing recharges.

Assist the Finance Teams with month-end processes, including preparing journals, running reports and supporting reconciliations to ensure financial timetables are met.

Investigate financial queries as requested by the Budget Managers or Finance Teams. This includes issues about payment of invoices, payroll queries and coding issues.

Assist the Finance Teams and Budget Managers in sorting and validating staffing information, on spreadsheets and in the general ledger.

Assist the Finance Managers in ad hoc costing and analysis, which may include designing spreadsheets for own use and team members.
