The NHS Golden Jubilee University Hospital is Scotland’s largest National Treatment centre, delivering services for Scotland across Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Endoscopy, General Surgery as well as world-class leading National services such as Heart Transplant.
The Finance function itself has embarked on an improvement programme, with the first step being a recent restructure, including investment in additional posts. It is an exciting time to be joining the team as we look to build a ‘best-in-class’ function in order to provide excellent financial and decision making support to operational and clinical colleagues.
We are looking for someone who is committed to working in a demanding but enjoyable role in the NHS.

Working closely with the Capital Accountant, you will be responsible for the provision of a professional financial management service to budget holders within our capital plan.
This role will assist the Capital Accountant to lead, coordinate and develop a full accounting and reporting service on the Capital Plan, and to manage, maintain and develop an efficient and effective system of reporting expenditure to allow the best possible use of investment within our asset base. This will include ensuring the asset register is accurate, and that technical accounting requirements with regard to the NHS capital accounting manual are adhered to.
You will be competent in the management of financial information, financial reporting, budgetary control processes and governance arrangements. Ideally HND qualified (or with equivalent work experience), you will have excellent IT skills, good communication skills and the ability to use initiative and deliver to strict timelines while dealing diplomatically with staff at all levels.
