SalaryIn 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.
The Department’s Financial Consolidation Team is at the heart of ensuring DHSC’s financial results are captured on an accurate and timely basis. This is critical to enabling decision makers to effectively manage the Department’s £150 billion annual budget.
The Group Annual Report and Account is key to the delivery of the DHSC’s objectives, allowing Parliament to scrutinise spending within the Health and Care system and contributing to the Department’s accountability requirements. The Department and the Group accounts are complex. If you can imagine an accounting scenario, then it probably happens somewhere within the Departmental Group.
We are a team of accounting experts who are relied upon for our expert advice, guidance and we are known for the quality of our outputs. The work is highly interesting and provides ample opportunity for the right individuals to grow and develop within the Department’s large and diverse finance directorate.
We are recruiting a Higher Executive Officer role in the Department’s Financial Consolidation Team. This role is critical in enabling the Department to produce our annual report and accounts and enable a successful audit.
This role provides a unique opportunity to be involved in the production of one of the largest and most complex sets of financial statements in Europe.
This role is stretching, requiring strong knowledge and experience of financial accounting and reporting requirements. It would be suitable for a finance professional looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to develop their skills in a high-impact area that consistently ranks as the public’s number one priority.
Successful candidates would receive strong investment in their learning and development, opportunities to work on a variety of exciting projects and ample opportunity for career progression.
It is essential that candidates for this role are at least part-qualified in a recognised accountancy qualification (CCAB or equivalent) and are actively seeking to become fully qualified. Those that hold a full CCAB, CIMA or equivalent qualification will be eligible for an annual market pay supplement of £7k.
