The NHS Wales Financial Management Graduate Scheme
The NHS Wales Financial Management Graduate Scheme offers you the opportunity to work across the breadth of the finance function giving you a host of valuable and varied experiences in areas such as financial management, business partnering and financial planning.

What the Scheme Involves
