Exceptional Care Together

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is a large integrated acute and community provider and a major teaching hospital which is a trusted anchor institution at the heart of our communities. We have over 14,000 staff working across five hospitals and many other sites and are rated Good by the CQC; however, we recognise the challenges we face and are committed to implementing the significant improvements required in our maternity services, highlighted by the recent inspection.

Pivotal to delivering these improvements and fostering a culture of exceptional care will be the appointment of an accomplished and visionary Executive Chief Financial Officer to join our Board. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, you will advise the Board on financial, contractual, commercial, and performance matters, overseeing the finance, performance, and procurement functions of the Trust and ensuring the effective management of resources and delivery of financial objectives.

You will be instrumental in crafting financial plans and frameworks and ensuring their effective execution. Additionally, you will provide the structure for performance management, supporting the CEO in maintaining a strong working relationship with NHSE and Derbyshire and Staffordshire Systems. Your role will also entail managing the development and delivery of the Trust's Estates and Capital programme, as well as overseeing large-scale projects. Furthermore, you will be responsible for appraising and managing the organisation's charitable funds, contributing to the Trust's overall mission and objectives.

You will be an effective role model, exhibiting and promoting collaborative leadership behaviours that uphold our values of Compassion, Openness, and Excellence, providing strategic vision, challenge, and support to all colleagues in the Trust.

We are seeking a proven leader with a track record of driving organisational change within a complex healthcare environment. If you share our values and ambition and are ready to lead our Trust into the future, we invite you to apply.
