Job Description

Following an external promotion of our current postholder, we are now seeking to appoint a new Chief Finance Officer.

We have an ambitious agenda for you. We are determined to improve our services whilst also moving to a new way of working, with a greater focus on supporting the wellbeing of our communities and the prevention of poor mental health. Given our finite income, your creative and strategic management of resources will play a critical role in helping us develop new approaches to manage capacity, pathways, and efficiency, driving improvement and moving the quality of our services from CQC 'Good' to 'Outstanding'.

To succeed, you will be a Chartered Accountant (or equivalent) with significant experience at a senior leadership level within finance, including exposure to working with a Board. You will bring an understanding of developing and implementing financial strategy in a large, complex organisation that delivers services to the public, and have experience of developing partnerships with internal and external stakeholders. You will be an inspiring, collegiate, and compassionate leader who shares our values, with excellent people management skills and experience of building and developing highly effective teams.

Main duties of the job

You will report to the Chief Executive as an Executive Director of the Trust Board and key member of the senior leadership team. Your responsibilities will include:
  • As a member of the Board, jointly developing and delivering the Trust's strategic direction and corporate management
  • Advising the Trust Board and Council of Governors on all aspects of finance, procurement and contracting
  • Leading the Finance, Procurement & Contracting Directorate
  • Working closely with our COO and CDIO on overall Trust performance and information analysis and reporting.
  • Playing an important role externally, working closely with our NHS partners across the Frimley and Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Systems to develop regional initiatives and promote our services.
  • Supporting the delivery of major capital projects within the Trust.
