Are you a qualified, forward-thinking finance professional looking to make a tangible difference in patient care? We are seeking a dynamic Finance Business Partner to join our team, acting as a trusted advisor to clinical and operational leaders across our complex services. You will work directly within a multi-disciplinary leadership team for a divisional business unit, bringing financial management advice and support to clinical and service management colleagues. This role offers a unique opportunity to directly influence strategic decision-making, drive financial sustainability, and translate complex financial data into actionable insights that improve efficiency and patient outcomes.

Working within a supportive and inclusive NHS environment, you will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, a hybrid working model, and a generous pension scheme while playing a critical role in our financial success.

If you are an analytical, collaborative professional eager to take the next step in your career and add value to a vital public service, this may be the right role for you. Secondments will be considered for the right candidate.

Informal enquiries regarding the post should be made to:

Andrew Bone, Director of Finance, andrew.bone@nhs.scot

A Microsoft Teams call can be arranged for ‘face to face’ discussion if required.

Whether you’re early in your career or looking to take the next step into a more senior role, NHS Borders offers a supportive environment where you can grow, influence change, and make a real impact.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.

For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found here.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form

***PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early***
