Designed to develop the next generation of finance leaders you will work in complex, challenging environments in partnership with clinicians and other professionals.
Trainees will be supported through formal activities, opportunistic events and be guided by their Graduate Lead. It is expected that the level of responsibility and degree of difficulty / complexity of the work required from trainees will increase over the duration of the programme.

As learning is best achieved through putting theory into practice it will be no surprise that the vast majority of time will be based within the finance department of your employing organisation. There you will rotate through a number of placements to gain experience and a solid grounding in all aspects of NHS finance. In addition, there are some centrally provided placements on core financial services such as accounts payable and payroll, provided centrally by the Shared Services Partnership.
There are also placements in other NHS Wales organisations to broaden your experience in year 2 and year 3.
You will study for an accredited professional accountancy qualification (ACCA) over 3 years and will be expected to achieve this qualification in order to graduate from the scheme. You can expect first class training and mentor support and a generous study package.
