Management Accountant
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Management Accountant will support the Trust’s financial management function by preparing monthly management accounts, analysing budgets and variances, producing financial reports, and providing advice to budget holders. Requirements typically include a recognised accountancy qualification or substantial progress toward one, relevant management accounting experience, strong Excel and financial systems skills, and an understanding of NHS finance and reporting. The successful candidate is expected to work accurately to deadlines, explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues, investigate discrepancies, and provide constructive financial guidance. Strong organisation, attention to detail, communication skills, confidentiality, and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience in an NHS or public-sector environment would be advantageous.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
