KPMG UK’s Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare (IGH) business is widely recognised as a leading financial and commercial adviser across the public sector and on projects of national importance. This advice, amongst other things, ranges from major system design, economic case making, transaction support, design of efficient operational process and technology enablement.

Our purpose is to support the projects that improve the fabric of our nation, and other nations around the world trying to improve the economic functioning and social wellbeing of their society.

Our healthcare advisory business is a critical plank in that. Healthcare is undergoing rapid change. The needs of an ageing population are becoming more complex, treatments more administratively complex, and technology adoption critical to its effective implementation. Our team advises across that – we are amongst the market leaders in service transformation, capital project delivery and technology implementation.

Why join KPMG as Manager – Healthcare Advisory?

You’ll be joining our team that support the NHS as well as other healthcare and government organisations on driving value and in getting major transformation programmes approved and delivered – whether that be an investment in infrastructure, integration, partnerships, service change, or systems working. The broader team provides in-depth advice on the strategic, financial, regulatory and commercial issues driving investments in infrastructure across Healthcare, Education, Local Government and Social Housing as well as Transport and Power & Utilities. This ranges from providing strategic advice to financing investments, to working with the public sector to develop the business cases and delivery plans to get change approved within government and advising through negotiations and processes that support that change.  

KPMG is part of a global network of firms that offers Advisory, Audit, Tax and Technology services. Through the talent of over 16,000 colleagues, we bring our creativity and insight to our clients’ most critical challenges. With offices across the UK, we work with everyone from enterprises to national government bodies and major multinationals, in virtually every industry imaginable. Our work is often complex, yet our vision is simple: to be the clear choice for our clients, for our people and for the communities we work in.

With our position as a leading advisor to the NHS and other healthcare and government bodies, we are frequently approached to support the most complex and high-profile programmes. Joining our team will expose you to work on a range of high-profile assignments helping providers, commissioners and regulators address their most challenging issues.

What do you need to do it?

We are looking for a Manager to join our team to lead a variety of projects including contributing to business cases, financial, economic and commercial analysis, model design, build and assurance. Critically we are a client facing team and the candidate will be comfortable working side by side with our clients. You will have practical experience of health transformation and health finances.

This role offers the candidate the opportunity to develop an extensive knowledge of business transformation and modelling across the health sector whilst also developing client-facing skills, project management skills and consulting skills. We believe that our work plays a crucial role in supporting the NHS to transform and deliver even better patient care.
