About the Department/Role

The Finance department is a shared services function working across the NCIs to provide a comprehensive, cost-effective finance service to each organisation, and helping to co-ordinate joint projects where appropriate. The Finance department is on a change journey, transforming the way we work and the service we provide to the NCIs.

You will manage, motivate and develop your team to ensure the timely and accurate delivery of statutory financial reporting for each of the NCIs and provide a high-quality finance service to the NCIs. You will act as subject-matter expert on accounting matters, demonstrating excellent technical accountancy knowledge, and will be able to explain complex financial issues to finance and non-finance staff.

An excellent communicator, you will be able to build effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and will work collaboratively with the rest of the Finance team to build strong internal control processes. You will be someone who is always looking to improve processes and work smarter, collaborating with your finance colleagues to drive best practice in everything we do.

You will deliver relevant training and support across departments to help improve financial literacy and ensure compliance with relevant financial control procedures.
