An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Finance Manager to join the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust.

The post directly supports the Head of Finance - North Thames Genomic Medicine Service as well as providing support within the Income and Contract team. The role provides support to the Genomic Medicine Service and works collaboratively across all the trusts.

The successful individual will have good analytical skills and an eye for detail along with a desire to change things and improve systems and processes. They will be enthusiastic and self-motivated, with strong interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team and take individual lead on tasks to ensure deadlines are made on a timely basis.

Main duties of the job

This role is to support the mobilisation and development of the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service. The post holder will be a member of the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service, reporting to the Head of Finance.

It is anticipated that, from April 2025, GLH services will be delivered under a new contract, funded by a new national tariff. Key responsibilities for the post holder will therefore include managing the income across all the providers and supporting the monthly sub-contract meetings and financial models across the GLH Partnership (7 Trusts) to reflect the partnership delivery model of the GLH acting as a single entity to provide enhanced genetic testing for the 34 Trusts in our region.

The post holder will also be supporting working with NHS England and the GLH and GMSA networks to define activity reporting systems and KPIs, establishing reporting against these, embedding governance processes locally and managing external assurance reporting. This will require matrix management of contracting, finance, information, and informatics colleagues from across the Partner Trusts to align multiple systems and information sources to create a single GLH or GMSA monthly return. This role will therefore require the ability to leverage collaborative working across the partnership and to interact credibly with organisation leads and executives across multiple organisations.
