Job overview
A rare opportunity has arisen in the North East and Yorkshire Regional team within NHS England for a Director of Finance.
This is a key leadership role in the regional health system, with responsibility, in conjunction with other leaders from across the professional spectrum, to lead teams to support systems to deliver improved quality, productivity and performance for the region’s population, in line with NHS and other governmental priorities.
Main duties of the job
The Director of Finance is responsible for leading and overseeing the wide range of financial responsibilities within the Region. The team works closely with our four Integrated Care systems, other regional and central team functions to ensure that patient centred services are delivered within the available financial resources. The role also helps to shape policy, ensures clarity of approach with our partner and approaches are in place to support our finance community.
The Region has a strong reputation for collegiate working with systems, organisations, and NHS England teams. This role is supported by a highly experienced and capable finance team covering a diverse portfolio including revenue, capital, policy, staff development and improving Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
The post holder, as a member of the regional executive team, will contribute towards the delivery of the regional objectives, including being the senior responsible officer for the overall annual planning process.
The role is likely to appeal to those keen to contribute towards the wide range of tasks performed by the NHS and be very much engaged with the current and emerging issues of the day.
