Clinical Partners is one of the UK's leading providers of mental health services. We are committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care while maintaining strong financial processes that support sustainable growth and exceptional service delivery across the organisation.
We are seeking a proactive and organised Credit Controller to join our growing Finance team. Reporting to the Credit Control lead, you will play a key role in managing a portfolio of NHS customer accounts, supporting cash collection activities, and helping to reduce overdue debt levels as demand for our NHS services continues to increase.
This role has been created due to significant growth across our NHS services. As a result, we are expanding our Credit Control function and are looking for someone who can help build positive customer relationships whilst ensuring effective debt management processes are maintained.
Working closely with colleagues across Finance, Operations and Billing, you will proactively identify and resolve payment issues, investigate account queries and ensure customer accounts are managed professionally and efficiently. You will act as an important link between the business and our customers, helping to maintain strong working relationships while supporting departmental cash collection targets.
We are looking for an individual who combines excellent communication skills with strong organisation and a relationship-focused approach. Whilst previous Credit Control experience would be beneficial, we are equally keen to hear from candidates with transferrable experience gained within administration, customer service, finance support or other office-based environments where managing workload, building relationships and providing excellent service have been key.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and maintain a portfolio of NHS customer accounts.
- Monitor customer balances and proactively pursue payment of overdue invoices through telephone, email and written correspondence.
- Investigate and resolve billing, payment and accounts queries in collaboration with internal departments.
- Build and maintain positive working relationships with NHS finance teams and key customer contacts.
- Prioritise collection activity to support cash flow and debt reduction targets.
- Maintain accurate records of collection activities, customer communications and accounts statuses.
- Escalate complex issues where appropriate and support resolution with internal stakeholders.
- Work collaboratively across departments to resolve queries and improve payment performance.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes and enhance customer experience.
- Ensure customer accounts are managed in accordance with company policies and agreed procedures.
