We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic senior contract finance manager to provide contract finance support across a wide portfolio of ICB contracts. You will understand the NHS Payment scheme and how to monitor performance against a healthcare contract. Working as both part of the team and independently, you will hold providers to account and provide analysis and reports internally and externally on provider performance.
You will be technically competent at extracting and manipulating data, as well as presenting complex finance and activity information to a wide range of audiences. In return we offer strong experience and the opportunity to develop in a fast-paced complex environment with the chance to take responsibility across a broad range of contract finance areas.
- Deliver contract finance management on a wide range of provider contracts ensuring value for money and robust financial control.
- Act as the prime contact and expert authority on a range of provider contracts, reconciling and reporting on the position monthly.
- Identify and raise challenges to providers where activity does not meet contractual or technical requirements.
- Help interpret and implement local and national policies, particularly relating to the NHS Payment Scheme or Standard Contract, and advise on the impact for a range of provider contracts.
- Liaise effectively with contracting and commissioning colleagues, and provider colleagues to ensure information is shared and reported appropriately.
We are committed to a culture that supports all staff at NHS Kent and Medway to be the best version of themselves.
Our ability to improve outcomes for our population depends on how effectively clinical, operational, financial and strategic professionals work together to make informed commissioning decisions. That’s why our workforce works a minimum of two days-a-week on-site, with the expectation that all one-to-ones are held face-to-face and that colleagues will regularly visit the services we are commissioning to understand more about them.
We believe regular on-site working supports stronger collaboration, faster problem-solving, peer learning, visible leadership and the integration of colleagues into our organisation. We also know that culture is built through shared experiences and day-to-day interactions.
We are a flexible working friendly organisation; we aim to support you to work flexibly in a way that will suit you and us.
We work with staff to agree objectives through regular supervision, annual appraisal and access to training opportunities.
We are committed to equal opportunities and diversity. In order to reflect the diversity of our population, we positively encourage applications from all areas of the community regardless of gender, race, faith, disability, age or sexual orientation.
