Main duties will include the timely production of monthly management accounts, forecasting, variance analysis, assisting in the costing of new service developments, and supporting the delivery of cost improvement plans.

The role also requires the post holder to maintain regular contact with budget managers, enabling them to accurately report and forecast financial information. This will include on occasion working from the research team base in Cambridge.
