https://mycareerhub.mmu.ac.uk/students/jobs/detail/1348390/leeds-teaching-hospitals-nhs-t
About the role:-
We have a number of
exciting opportunities for placement students to join our finance team to
support the delivery of high quality healthcare services to our patients.
Opportunities exist within our management accounting, financial accounts and
costing teams.
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING: Involves liaising with budget holders of Clinical Service Units (CSUs) and reporting on their financial position. Communication between budget holders and Management Accounting teams is important as this makes the financial position easier to understand and helps to identify areas of concern. We also work closely alongside other internal finance departments, so consistent teamwork and communication is vital. A placement student will provide assistance to our Unit Accountants in the support they provide to one or more CSUs. They will have the opportunity to go to regular budget holder meetings to discuss any financial issues. They will take part in the ‘Month-end’ process which involves producing journals and raising invoices. This also includes the analysis and interpretation of financial information by doing a Variance Analysis and a Movement Report. They will act as the first point of contact for budget holders and may be required to investigate ad hoc financial queries. They will use a variety of systems, for which they will be given prior training - such as: Oracle, Discoverer, OBI, AR Genysis, and Hyperion etc.
COSTING TEAM:
Opportunity to experience an exciting and evolving area of NHS Finance. This team manages our Patient Level Information and Costing System (PLICS), which uses clinical information from numerous electronic feeds to allocate our costs and income to the individual patients we treat. Our information can be analysed and scaled up at various levels to understand the financial performance for each of our specialties, and be used to identify inefficiencies, differences in clinical practice and improvements to the services we offer our patients. Over the course of your placement, you will gain knowledge of a wide range of software packages and systems we use, and help us with creating our information on a monthly basis. You will take part in engagement meetings with clinicians, managers and other finance colleagues to help them to understand and make best use of our information to improve patient services, and help us to continually improve its accuracy from the feedback they provide.
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING TEAM: Supporting the Finance Manager to provide a financial accounting service to the Trust. The team works alongside various internal/external departments and it is essential that there is consistent teamwork and communication between all these departments as their work ties closely together. Over the course of your placement you will be involved in the preparation of control account reconciliations, processing third party payroll pay overs, raising recharge invoices, processing journals, analysing and monitoring assigned accounts and associated information and investigating queries from users of the service and subsequently providing assistance and advice as required. You will also gain knowledge of and have the opportunity to contribute to treasury management, cash flow forecasting, monthly reporting to the Trust Board and Department of Health and assisting in the production and audit of the Trust’s annual accounts and Annual Report. To undertake the role you will utilise a range of financial systems such as Oracle financials, ESR payroll, NEP AR Genisys, and Paye.net etc. - full training will be received.
For all of these roles good communication skills will be required, both verbal and written, along with a professional and positive approach, the ability to manage competing priorities, knowledge of basic financial procedures and principles and good IT skills. The ability to adhere to strict deadlines is essential.
