We have an exciting opportunity for a commercially focused finance professional to join our team in a remote role, with regular travel to sites across our Northern Ireland, Scotland and North England. As frequent site travel is required, candidates must be based within one of these regions.
Reporting to the Adult Care North Finance Business Partner, you will play a key role in delivering insightful financial analysis, strengthening financial control, and supporting effective decision-making across your region and the wider division.
What you'll be doing
You’ll partner with operational teams to build financial awareness, providing training and support to non-finance stakeholders in a fast-paced environment. You’ll deliver month-end and ad hoc reporting, offering clear analysis of site performance, key variances, risks, and opportunities.
You’ll help services stay on budget by identifying issues and supporting effective action plans, while maintaining strong financial controls and data integrity in collaboration with the wider finance team. You’ll also contribute to pricing initiatives, payroll approvals, and the development of accurate, timely business cases.
The role includes site visits to investigate variances and support margin improvement, alongside involvement in forecasting, budgeting, and wider commercial projects to enhance reporting and support better decision-making.
What you'll bring to the role
You’ll be a professionally qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW or equivalent), or actively working towards qualification. Qualified by experience candidates will also be considered depending on their background.
You’ll be comfortable working towards medium- and longer-term objectives as part of a Regional Operations team, contributing to service development by translating ideas into practical management solutions. This is a role that requires adaptive thinking and confident problem-solving, particularly when balancing competing operational priorities.
Strong Excel skills are essential, alongside the ability to analyse and interpret financial and operational data to support decision-making.
You’ll also bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and manage complex or sensitive situations. You’ll be confident engaging a wide range of stakeholders, both internally and externally, and presenting information clearly to support effective outcomes.
What we will give you in return
We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
