We are offering you the opportunity to be the Group Chief Financial Officer to one of the largest NHS organisation in the country, and to be in service to two Trust Boards. This is coupled with the complexity of financial portfolio in an integrated care delivery model blended across both Trusts, of secondary care services at five hospital sites, community services to the population of North Lincolnshire and tertiary services from our north bank sites for an extended population of 1.4 million people for major trauma, cardiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, stroke, oncology and hematology, and neurosurgery. We also host four regional cancer screening services to our extended population and are an anchor institution in respect of our economic role as the largest employer in the region.
Working for our organisation
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.
Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.
We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
