Finance Business Partner – West

£57,360 – 63,104

Location: SPS Headquarters, Edinburgh (hybrid)

An exciting opportunity has arisen within SPS Headquarters as we recruit for a Finance Business Partner that will cover the West areas to join the Team. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will be responsible for the finance business partnering with SPS establishment finance managers within your area. The role is to support establishment finance managers and provide financial leadership ensuring the production of relevant, accurate and timely financial advice and supporting information in order that the establishments will achieve their agreed financial position.

You will provide strategic financial advice and support to the establishments in the development of their operational business plans. A key aspect of this support will be working with the establishments in the development of business cases.

You will work closely with both establishment finance managers and colleagues within finance HQ. You may have line management responsibility for staff within the team; an important part of the role will be the mentoring and coaching of the finance team.

If you have the following, we would like to hear from you:

  1. Full membership of a CCAB recognised body e.g. CIPFA, CIMA, ACCA or ICAS/ICAEW.
  2. Experience of delivering finance business partnering in a large, complex organisation; with extensive experience of financial reporting, planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes.
  3. Proven experience of effectively and constructively negotiating with non-finance stakeholders, and challenging financial information to secure optimal value for money from services; and experience of delivering high-quality results and being able to manage competing priorities in an effective and resilient manner.
  4. Experience in the preparation of business cases, and provision of analysis and insight to support investment decision making; in the development and monitoring of savings and efficiency plans; and in the improvement of financial processes and financial management information.

The role is a hybrid role with an expectation that it will require you to be at SPS locations approximately 2-3 days a week. The primary base will be at SPS Headquarters, situated in Edinburgh; however, there may be a requirement for you to travel to other SPS sites.

This role is to cover the West areas, which currently includes Low Moss, Barlinnie, Dumfries, and Greenock; therefore, there will be an expectation to travel across the different sites where required. A full UK driving license would be advantageous, as well as flexibility of attendance to meet the needs of the business. Occasional overnight stays may be required.

Some of the benefits you can enjoy in this role are:

  • Attractive Pension (Civil Service)
  • Commitment to your personal and professional development
  • Free gym and car parking
  • Annual Leave - 34 days rising to 42 days
  • Discounts at high street stores, supermarkets, and restaurants through our partners at Blue Light Card, Edenred, and Civil Service Sports Council.
  • Sick Pay
