Tim Coates
Finance, Risk & Governance Director
Finance (Risk & Governance) at Healthspan plays a central role in enabling the business to grow with confidence and integrity. The team provides the financial foundations and governance framework that support informed decision-making, from accurate reporting and performance insight to effective working capital management. Beyond the numbers, the function works collaboratively across the organisation, partnering with teams to solve problems, manage risk, strengthen controls, and support continuous improvement. It is a place where people are encouraged to develop professionally, contribute ideas, and see the real-world impact of their work on the success and sustainability of the business.
The Finance team plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and timely production of financial information that the wider business relies upon for strategic planning. Far more than a back-office support function, the Finance team is integral to Healthspan’s success, contributing to strategic decision-making and playing key roles in exciting projects across the company.
Activities within Finance are varied, and collaboration is central to the team’s approach. Members are empowered to design and improve processes, take ownership of their responsibilities, and contribute to outcomes that benefit the organisation.
Sharon Blackwell
Finance, Risk & Governance Director
The Finance, Risk and Governance Team is broadly split into two areas, Finance and Risk & Governance with some natural crossover between them.
Within the Finance team, we play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and timely production of financial information that the wider business relies upon for strategic planning. Far more than a back-office support function, the Finance team is integral to Healthspan’s success, contributing to strategic decision-making and playing key roles in exciting projects across the company.
The Risk & Governance team ensures that appropriate focus is given to identifying and managing risks that may impact the business, and that effective controls are in place to mitigate them. This team is central to embedding strong governance throughout Healthspan helping to uphold our culture and values while ensuring we operate responsibly in relation to our environmental impact and our contribution to economic and social governance practices.
Activities within the Finance, Risk & Governance team are varied, and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Team members are empowered to design and shape processes that benefit Healthspan as a whole, with the freedom to manage their responsibilities in a way that delivers the right outcomes. We are a welcoming, flexible team built on trust, accountability, and shared success.
