Interim Financial Transformation Lead; Adults Commissioning

Interim Financial Transformation Lead (Adults Commissioning) needed in Walsall

This is a temporary contract initially paying £550.00 per day PAYE

The reference number is: RQ1737383

The successful candidate will lead a focused programme of financial recovery and transformation across adult social care commissioning. The client identified significant outstanding debt linked to commissioned services delivered on behalf of health partners and requires a clear plan to recover this income while strengthening the systems and processes that underpin financial management.

This is not a traditional finance role. They are seeking a leader with a strong commissioning‑led transformation background who can shape and deliver a system‑wide approach to financial recovery and improvement. While support is available from the in‑house finance team on technical areas such as accountancy, debt recovery and financial controls, the postholder will be expected to operate independently in driving change.

The successful candidate will;

• Develop the overall policy and approach to financial recovery and financial management within commissioning
• Design and embed operational processes and infrastructure to support effective financial control and performance
• Lead debt recovery activity, working with Integrated Care Board and Health partners to reconcile and recover outstanding funding
