John's Work

More on my Place of Work

• My current duties include being responsible for ensuring the day-to-day activities involved in running the Trust's general ledger and associated systems are undertaken. I have produced a number of guides to using the various functions within the new system. I am also responsible for producing reports within Oracle's reporting system, Discoverer.
• I was part of the Financial Management Accounts (Corporate) team. This team is responsible for a wide variety of tasks including accessing the various remote services and pulling off information required by the other departments within the Finance Department. I am also involved in specifying hardware requirements for the various computers and other hardware within the finance department, making sure that the users know how to use them and the Office applications that came with them.
• It is also part of my responsibilities to pay the bills for clinical negligence claims that may arise.
• I was employed as Deputy Stores Accountant for the Central Manchester Healthcare Trust. This meant I was responsible for seeing that the invoices for each of the local stores gets paid on time and that the suppliers charged the correct price for the right goods. Trust expenditure on stores items is over eight million pounds sterling per year.
• As well as this, I was responsible for tracing any unclaimed VAT ensuring that it was claimed back.
• Within Finance I am often asked for my opinion on the uses of computers, or why they don't work, before we involve the specialist support staff, thereby reducing downtime.
