Contract: Permanent
Job Reference: 32756
Company
Stanton House is partnering with a Private Equity-backed healthcare services platform to appoint a Group Financial Controller.
The business operates in a large and growing segment of the healthcare market, delivering community-based services through a network of clinics and technology-enabled care pathways. Having secured institutional backing and established a strong operating platform, the company is now entering a significant period of growth through both organic expansion and acquisitions.
This is an opportunity to join a business where finance sits at the centre of the value creation plan. The successful candidate will play a key role in building the infrastructure, controls and reporting capability required to support rapid scale.
Role
Reporting to the CFO, the Group Financial Controller will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and build the financial infrastructure required to support a high-growth, PE-backed business.
This is a broad role covering financial control, management reporting, cash flow management, finance operations, systems development and business partnering. The business is scaling rapidly through new locations, new service lines and acquisition activity, creating a varied and commercially important remit.
The successful candidate will be hands-on, comfortable operating in a build environment and motivated by the opportunity to create scalable processes, strengthen controls and support long-term growth. The role offers exposure to systems implementation, acquisition integration, investor reporting and finance team development, providing an excellent platform for future progression.
