Local Counter Fraud Specialist / Compliance Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a small but dedicated in-house NHS counter fraud collaborative team, responsible for investigating suspicions of NHS fraud and corruption to a criminal standard and promoting a strong anti-fraud culture. Currently providing a quality service to Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (the host organisation), Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.

The successful candidate will be the nominated Local Counter Fraud Specialist (LCFS) for Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and will also actively support the wider counter fraud collaborative team as necessary.

Candidates must be formally accredited NHS counter-fraud specialists, with proven NHS counter fraud work experience of the full range of LCFS duties. The successful candidate must be a highly motivated, enthusiastic individual who is able to work on their own initiative but also has the ability to be a committed team player in order to continue the success of the counter fraud collaborative. They will possess strong analytical skills, the ability to work under pressure to tight timescales and the ability to communicate with confidence across all levels of the organisation both verbally and in writing. The role encompasses an expanded compliance function which will complement the LCFS function, so experience of internal audit or an understanding of finance department functions would be advantageous.
