Head of Finance (1 FTE)

Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: £62,163 – £73,992 per annum pro rata
Location: Bournemouth Campus with regular trips to London

Health Sciences University (HSU) – formerly AECC University College – is a specialist health sciences institution dedicated to excellent education, clinical care and applied research.

Following the approval of our new university title in July 2024, and the merger of the University College of Osteopathy into HSU from 1 August 2024, we are entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation across our Bournemouth and central London campuses.

We are a values‑driven organisation inspired by our mission to create a healthier society through education, research and clinical care. Our staff and students form a caring and inclusive community, working together to deliver our Strategic Plan 2021–2026, which will soon be refreshed to reflect recent institutional developments.

HSU delivers a diverse and growing portfolio of pre‑ and post‑registration courses and research in allied health and related disciplines. We also provide substantial CQC‑registered clinical and imaging services, offering high‑quality care to staff, students and the wider community. These facilities create a unique environment for practice learning, support for NHS partners, and a strong platform for applied research.

Partnership working is central to our identity as an agile and collaborative higher education and clinical provider. As we grow across Dorset and London, we are developing a more strategically informed approach to partnership working—locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

HSU currently uses Exchequer, and you will lead the selection, development and implementation of a new finance system.

You will work closely with the Chief Operating Officer to ensure that legal, regulatory and compliance matters are embedded across the University.

About You

You will be an inspirational and motivating senior manager with substantial financial management experience in the Higher Education sector. You will also:

• Hold a recognised accounting qualification
• Be comfortable leading from the front while working collaboratively within a senior management team
• Have experience implementing and improving financial systems
• Demonstrate strong budgeting, planning, forecasting and compliance expertise

Benefits

• Competitive employer’s pension
• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Enhanced policies
• Subsidised clinical treatments

• And more
