Work for us

When most people hear the word ‘hospice’, they picture the doctors and nurses who look after people at end of life, and – while it’s right these experts are prized for all they do for those in their care – working behind the scenes is an army of other hardworking staff, plus dedicated volunteers and of course the generous supporters, equally essential to delivering such a vital service.

Management Accountant / Business Partner...

Salary: £38,341 - £42,281 Per Annum, Depending on Experience

Hours: 37.5 Hours Per Week (Negotiable)



Looking for a finance role where your work makes a real difference?

At St Luke's Hospice Plymouth, every financial decision helps us provide outstanding care and support to patients and families across our community.



As our Management Accountant / Finance Business Partner, you'll work alongside managers and budget holders across the organisation, helping them understand financial performance, make informed decisions and maximise the impact of the resources entrusted to us.

This is far more than a reporting role. You'll be a trusted partner to operational teams, translating complex financial information into meaningful insight, providing constructive challenge, and helping colleagues build confidence in managing their budgets. Whether supporting business cases for new services, undertaking financial modelling, identifying efficiency opportunities or helping managers navigate financial risks, you'll play a vital part in shaping the future sustainability of the hospice.

Working closely with the Head of Finance and Director of Finance & Resources, you'll contribute to budgeting, forecasting, management accounts, year-end reporting, audit preparation and financial control activities. You'll also help drive continuous improvement in our financial systems, reporting tools and processes, ensuring that finance remains a valued and proactive partner across the organisation.



This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strong technical accounting skills with relationship building, problem solving and helping people make better decisions.



About You

You're a finance professional who enjoys working with people as much as numbers. You understand that great business partnering is about building trust, influencing decisions and making financial information accessible to non-financial colleagues.



If you have the necessary experience, values and ethos to take on this exciting opportunity, and would like to be part of an organisation providing care and support to so many people in Plymouth and the surrounding area, we look forward to receiving your application.



As a staff member of St Luke’s you will receive an attractive employment package, which includes 7 weeks annual leave rising with service (inc bank hols) and membership to a cash back health plan upon completion of your probationary period. There is also a generous Occupational Pension scheme. As a hybrid worker your role will involve a mixture of home and office working.
