NHS Borders is committed to exploring how charitable activities and fundraising can complement and enhance local health services and make a positive impact to the population of the Scottish borders. “The Difference” is the in-house charity of NHS Borders and strives to enhance patient care in the Borders.
We manage a variety of charitable funds and grants (circa £5m) which are aimed at supporting our charitable purpose of advancing the health of the local population. We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Charitable Funds Accountant to join our team and contribute to the effective management and reporting of our financial resources aligned to the Charity's Strategic Plan.
Although this post sits within the wider health board’s finance team this is the only finance role dedicated for the charity so you will be expected to work independently, manage your own workload and work closely with the fundraising and grant manager colleagues within the charity team.
The successful candidate will be required to:
* Provide regular financial reporting to Charity Board of Trustees
* Provide financial reporting requirements of the Investment Fund
* Management of finance staff who provide the cash management and transaction processing (income and expenditure) for Goods and Services for the Charity
* Provide forecasting and modelling data to inform strategic decisions on fundraising and grant-making by the charity
* Support the production of the Annual Trustees Report and Annual Accounts
We are looking for someone with accountancy experience and experience of managing people. Specific experience in charity finances is highly desirable.
NHS Borders provides healthcare services to a local population of 116,000. We take great pride in the delivery of healthcare to our local community and 3,500 staff who work within NHS Borders carry out their role with the aim of improving the lives of our patients and the health of our local communities. The work of ‘the difference’ enhances the care that is provided across the region by NHS Borders.
