The financial management team seeks to achieve optimum value for money in all of the trusts services. It does this by supporting managers to understand the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the resources within their control. The post holder will need to produce insightful financial analysis and be persuasive when dealing with conflicting priorities. Ensuring financial opportunities and risks are quantified and understood by a variety of stakeholders.
We want to recruit a diverse workforce, who are values driven, compassionate and have a desire to deliver high quality care every day. This role is about planning for the future and making sure the actions we take today will defend the long term financial sustainability of the trust. Whilst previous NHS experience can be a strength, we are also keen to hear from those who have never thought of working for the NHS before. Either way we are looking to bring in fresh views and new practices.
