Financial Analyst - Regulatory

I am working with an Independent Regulator who are looking for a number of Financial Analysts to join their busy Financial Assessment Team.

The roles are full time (37 hours per week), to start on the 2nd February 2026 and will run for 4 months initially.

The roles can be worked fully remote and are paying 32.74 PAYE per hour including holiday pay or 37.65 Umbrella per hour (inside IR35)

The role

The role is based in the Regulation directorate.

The purpose of the role is to undertake financial assessments as set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA) and in the organisation's regulatory framework.

Key activities include:

Producing reliable assessments of the providers' financial health and continually improving the system that delivers services to providers. The role requires engagement with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that there is a consistent understanding of the organisation's approach to financial assessment and regulation.

The key person attributes to fulfil this role are:

• Holding an accountancy qualification from ICAEW, CIMA, ACCA, ICAS, CAI or CIPFA
• Experience and expertise in financial analysis commensurate with an individual's qualification status
• Ability to understand, interpret and identify risks in financial performance in diverse types of organisations
• Ability to reach and convey reliable and challenge-proof judgements to non-specialists on the basis of complex and imperfect information
• Ability to manage own workload, coping with changing priorities in a flexible and proactive way
• Ability to reach reliable professional judgements on the basis of complex financial evidence and to get these 'right first time'
• Ability to communicate complex financial issues effectively, orally and in writing
• Personal resilience
• Ability to work collaboratively and flexibly in a complex environment to deliver the team's functions

These roles would ideally suit someone with both Accountancy and Audit experience and it would be an added bonus if you had experience working in the Higher Education Sector.

Please only apply for these roles if you are a qualified accountant (as mentioned above) and are available to start work on the 2nd February 2026.

Interviews will be held virtually in early January 2026.

Thank you

Charlotte
