Background and Context
Guided by its refreshed Strategic Plan 2016-20, the University is mid-way through a growth period that is best characterised by a rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive higher education environment, high expectations from students and significant financial pressures. At the same time, a number of exciting opportunities are emerging, including Hull’s year as UK City of Culture in 2017 and the significant investment in renewable energy in the Humber region.

The University employs over 2,000 staff, has a turnover of over £181 million and has a non-pay budget of £60 million annually.  It has an ambitious capital programme which involves the investment of £65 million in 2015/16 and a further £100m over the subsequent five years (including £23 million in IT hardware and systems).

In response to the challenges ahead, the Finance department is reviewing the structure of the Directorate to ensure that it continues to provide an efficient and effective service for the future.  The University Finance function must maximise value for money and ensure increased efficiency, economy and effectiveness.  Its focus is on developing a well-trained and coordinated workforce able to add value whilst complying with national guidelines, policy initiatives as well as our legislative responsibilities.

The Opportunity

This will require strong communication and collaboration skills as you will be providing financial advice and guidance to managers, staff, students and visitors.

On a day to day basis you will be managing the financial processes, including purchase ordering, carried out by all staff within the Dean’s Area, ensuring their compliance with the financial regulations and procedures of the University. Introducing new methods of work where appropriate.

The succesful candidate will be able to demonstrate relevant professional experience and/or will possess a professional qualification (or are working towards).
