About the Role
As a Finance Business Partner, you will play a pivotal role in providing financial advice, developing and improving strategic financial insight, driving performance improvement and supporting departments in the delivery of transformational change. This role offers the unique opportunity to influence key business decisions through collaborative working to ensure saving opportunities are optimised within a financially challenging environment.

To apply for this post, you must:
* Hold a CCAB or equivalent qualification with relevant up to date membership (essential criteria)
Have a proven ability to:
* Build and maintain effective relationships that maximise co-operation across teams, services and organisational boundaries to achieve desired results.
* Work co-operatively across team, service, organisational and partnership boundaries to improve performance and resolve financial problems, particularly efficiency, with sound workable solutions.
* Interpret and use a range of financial information to inform decisions and manage risks, whilst simultaneously recognising wider political and organisational priorities.
