Job Introduction

What does it take to become a leading health and social care organisation in the UK? It takes people who can turn lives around every day – providing encouragement, delivering innovative services and generally improving life for individuals with a learning disability or those affected by drug and alcohol misuse or mental health problems. But it’s not just our front–line teams that make a difference. So do the dedicated professionals who work behind the scenes to support the vital work we do? And that’s where you can come in.

Turning Point is now recruiting an experienced Commercial Finance Analyst based in Manchester City centre with hybrid working. Our Analyst role ranges from junior to senior dependant on skills, experience and qualifications and we are currently looking to further enhance our team with an experienced analyst.

The first stage face-to-face interviews will be held on 4th April.

You will provide effective contract management, supporting our growth ambitions and deliver a critical role in enhancing our financial outlook. You will assist in budget and forecasting processes, identify trends and propose actions, utilising this analysis to drive positive decision making.

Additionally, this role will support on reporting requirements for the team. This role requires excellent communication skills and a strong ability to develop robust relationships, demonstrating real impact towards meeting our strategic objectives.
