Management Consultant - Manager - Finance - Healthcare

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Overview

Why Moorhouse? We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We make sure our clients succeed in their long-term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and a commitment to establishing a culture of change. Clients like what we do and how we work, and we are looking for people to join the Moorhouse team. We pride ourselves in being proactive, collaborative, and straightforward team players. We like to move fast as a team and both honesty and integrity are key to this. In return you will be part of a supportive and high-performing team that shares the workload, looks after each other and celebrates success together. You can be assured of an exciting opportunity that will stretch you and equip you with skills, experience and knowledge that can help organisations respond to the turbulence, change and opportunity that will define the future of work. We don’t do politics, egos, or personal agendas - it consumes too much time and distracts us from being successful together. We will expect you to contribute to a culture of sustainability and embrace Moorhouse's social responsibility by integrating responsible practices and upholding ethical standards and awareness in everyday work. Moorhouse is currently unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Unfortunately, this means we are not able to progress applications from candidates who would require sponsorship now or in the future.

Healthcare at Moorhouse

Our Health & Care sector plays a central role in designing and delivering transformation across the NHS. We work with organisations across the UK health system, including national bodies, ICSe and providers to solve their most critical challenges - including improving operational performance, redesigning care pathways, delivering digital and data-enabled transformation, and defining operating models and supporting organisation-wide change. We combine national-level strategy experience with hands-on delivery in provider settings, focusing on three core areas aligned to NHS 10-year plan priorities:

• Health Service Optimisation: Operational, performance and financial improvement across acute, community and primary care settings.
• Digital, Data and AI transformation: to support improved decision-making, productivity and performance improvement across care systems.
• Health System Strategy and Design: Commissioning and system strategy and design, helping ICSe and national bodies redesign care pathways, allocate resources effectively, and drive system-wide transformation.

We have long-standing partnerships with many of the largest NHS organisations on programmes ranging from system-wide change to targeted improvement work, helping them maximise value, strengthen resilience and improve outcomes for patients and populations.

Responsibilities

Why join the Health & Care team at Moorhouse? Our Health & Care team brings together a mix of former operational leaders and clinicians with NHS change experts. We work as an integrated team, combining complementary strengths in finance, strategy, delivery, data, and frontline transformation, with working at Moorhouse enabling you to build and broaden your NHS skillset by collaborating with experts across multiple disciplines. Our delivery-led consulting model means we work shoulder-to-shoulder with client teams, embedding ourselves in services to deliver measurable results rather than solely producing recommendations. We are seeking a Manager to help contribute to and develop our Health & Care consulting portfolio, playing a key role in finance-focused engagements, shaping and owning supporting and evolving our go-to-market propositions, and contributing directly to the strategic direction of the practice. This role combines hands-on delivery with the opportunity to innovate, build client relationships, and influence the future of how Moorhouse partners with the NHS on financial improvement and value-for-money transformation.

Through this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Lead and shape high-impact transformation programmes - deliver impactful and meaningful programmes for NHS commissioners and providers that improve outcomes, system performance, and value for money.
• Learn from a highly experienced team of consultants with deep expertise in healthcare and years of experience shaping, selling and delivering consulting services across the NHS.
• Take responsibility for delivery with support - take ownership for end-to-end project delivery, client relationships, and team leadership, with support and sponsorship from our senior leadership team.
• Develop your profile - contribute to thought leadership and sector strategy, helping shape how Moorhouse partners with the NHS and the wider system.
• Contribute to and develop Health & Care propositions in your chosen area - develop go-to-market offers that respond to system challenges, regulatory priorities, and emerging technologies.
• Support business growth - identify and develop new opportunities, nurture client relationships, originate and lead bids that expand our project and client base.
• The opportunity for accelerated career progression is based on performance and impact, not tenure.
• Lead and guide others - lead delivery teams and act as a line manager to junior members of the team, helping develop our people as well as our business.
• Join a collaborative and supportive community - be part of a supportive, ambitious and connected team that values fun, collaboration and wellbeing, with regular socials, regular strategy half day events and quarterly Moorhouse "escapes".

Essential skills

What are we looking for? We are seeking a Manager with strong financial expertise, grounded in work in the NHS and consulting experience and the ability to shape and deliver large-scale transformation programmes. Candidates should bring 6-8 years' experience in healthcare consulting and/or NHS financial management or improvement, with a track record of delivering measurable impact.

The experience you will bring:

• Fully qualified accountant (CIPFA or CIMA preferred). ACA or ACCA also considered where candidates can demonstrate strong NHS sector experience and/or consulting or professional services background.
• Deep experience delivering financial improvement programmes in the NHS, including CIP/ FIP or broader cost-reduction initiatives, with the ability to design pragmatic and actionable solutions for providers and systems.
• Strong financial acumen, including interpreting budgets, developing financial models, and working alongside finance teams to understand drivers of expenditure, productivity and efficiency.
• Ability to diagnose root causes, synthesise complex financial and operational data, and translate findings into compelling recommendations for executives.
• Experience advising NHS provider and system-level leaders, including CFOs, COOs and programme directors, with credibility and confidence when engaging senior stakeholders.
• Understanding of NHS financial frameworks, funding flows and contracting mechanisms, and the ability to apply these to design financially sustainable service models and improvement plans.
• Experience or exposure to NHS business cases (SOC, OBC, FBC), including clear articulation of the strategic, economic, commercial, financial and management cases, and ensuring these are evidence based and aligned to national guidance (e.g., HM Treasury Green Book).
• Ability to shape go-to-market financial propositions, contributing to bids, identifying new opportunities, and articulating how financial improvement aligns with system-level transformation and provider priorities.

Leadership and Delivery

Exceptional programme delivery and transformation capability, with experience managing multidisciplinary teams and multiple stakeholders. Strong commercial and business development acumen, including building long-term relationships, identifying new opportunities, and leading bid development. A strategic thinker who can move between big-picture system challenges and detailed delivery issues. Someone who is proactive, takes ownership, and works well both independently and collaboratively, and actively contributes to the growth of our Health & Care practice.

You don’t need to meet every requirement to apply. If your experience aligns with most of the criteria and you’re interested in the role, we’d encourage you to apply.

Benefits

What we can offer you:

• A total cash package up to £110,000 comprising of a base salary of £82,005 and a combination of personal and company bonuses that are paid every six months.

We encourage people to bring their whole selves to work, contribute ideas, take the initiative and be responsible for their impact on others internally and externally.
