IT Finance and Procurement Business Analyst

We are seeking a skilled Business Analyst with a strong focus on finance and procurement to join our Adult Social Care Directorate. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in driving efficiency, improving financial sustainability, and ensuring that resources deliver maximum value for residents who rely on our services.

As a Business Analyst, you will work across finance, commissioning, procurement, and operational teams to:

• Analyse and improve financial and procurement processes within Adult Social Care.
• Deliver clear insights into costs, contracts, and supplier performance.
• Support budget monitoring, forecasting, and spend analysis.
• Ensure procurement activity is compliant, transparent, and delivers value for money.
• Translate complex data into actionable recommendations for decision-makers.
• Contribute to transformation programmes that make Adult Social Care more effective and sustainable.

This role will be central in helping us achieve both financial resilience and better outcomes for our communities.

We're looking for someone who can bridge the gap between finance specialists and frontline social care services. You'll bring:

• Proven experience in business analysis, ideally in the public sector.
• Strong knowledge of finance, procurement, or commissioning processes.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Confidence in analysing complex data and presenting findings clearly.
• A collaborative and solutions-focused approach.

Experience in Adult Social Care or local government would be an advantage, but is not essential.
