Applications are invited for a full & part time (1.5FTE) positions of an Assistant Finance Business Partner, a role within the Finance Department, at University of South Wales. The role sits within the Financial Planning, Performance and Transformation Team, providing both core financial services and driving dynamic and innovative approaches to financial management to underpin USW financial performance and transformation.

This position is based at Treforest Campus at the University of South Wales. The university is currently operating a hybrid-model of working. However, the successful candidate would be expected to work on campus for part of the week and work within close proximity to the relevant business area/ stakeholders.

The Assistant Finance Business Partner will report into the Finance Business Partner and will be the primary contact for budget holders in respect of financial planning, budget and forecasting. This is a critical role in ensuring that the budget holders are appropriately supported to have a good understanding of their financial performance. We are looking for an ambitious Part Qualified Accountant with a strong finance/accounting background and considerable experience, with an approachable, professional and "can do" approach to work, who is equally adept at working unaided or as part of a close-knit team.

As one of the largest higher education providers in Wales, the University and the finance team provides an ideal setting for individuals to develop their careers, nurture their talent and make a difference.

This is a full time, permanent post.

If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the University (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges.

If you're a Welsh learner or a Welsh speaker, we'd be delighted to receive your application. At USW, you'll have access to Welsh courses to enable you to develop your Welsh skills further, in order to provide a bilingual service to our students, colleagues and the public.

We welcome applications in Welsh and English. Applications in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than those made in English.
