In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.
DHSC leads the health and care system, working collaboratively with a range of Arms Length Bodies (ALBs), such as NHS England. The Department’s total group budget (including NHS England) is approximately £180 billion this year.
This role is in the Financial Governance and Control team whose purpose is to ensure that robust governance and controls are in place across the Department and its ALBs that align with Managing Public Money, and to ensure value for money is delivered for the taxpayer on the significant annual investment in health and social care.
This is an excellent opportunity to diversify finance experience, leading a challenging portfolio in a role central to DHSC’s decision-making processes.
The Financial Governance and Control team is relatively new and small but perfectly formed team. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of the delivery of multiple projects to develop the Department’s governance and control strategy, improve products, processes and organisational understanding, working closely with stakeholders across the finance function, the wider department and our ALBs.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the Finance Directorate by ensuring that its finances are managed within the framework outlined in Managing Public Money. The team has a significant focus on improvement and best practice. The team is responsible for ensuring that there are adequate delegations, controls and reporting arrangements, aligned with the Departmental risk appetite to provide assurance to the board, the Accounting Officer and ultimately ministers.
The successful candidate will be lead on upskilling colleagues across the Department, ensuring that the understanding of controls and that guidance is current and accessible for stakeholders. A key part of the role is collaborating with leads across the Department to raise the profile of financial governance and control to facilitate compliance with the Financial Control Framework. The successful candidate will work effectively with internal and external stakeholders, making sound judgements to interpret and apply rules and policies.
The role provides an excellent opportunity to function with a large degree of autonomy within a supportive and agile team. The team is made up of a mix of both qualified accountants and those with other relevant experience. A finance qualification is advantageous but not essential for this role (a wide range of applicants are encouraged; the required key skills and experience are set out below). This role attracts a market pay supplement if CCAB or equivalent qualified. We are supportive of candidates who are seeking to become qualified, either starting their qualification through an apprenticeship, or in supporting individuals who are part way through their studies.
If you have any questions about the role and would like an informal discussion, please do feel free to contact the vacancy holder: Sarah.Fry@dhsc.gov.uk.
