The Deputy Director of Finance reports into Phill Wells, the current Director of Finance who joined the Trust in October 2018 from the Civil Service. The role will act as the effective day-to-day operational manager for the Finance Department and be responsible for ensuring all statutory reporting requirements to external stakeholders, such as NHS Improvement, are met accurately and within the appropriate timescales. The role will also ensure that internal financial information requirements are successfully met, and the Finance Department is providing clear and decisive leadership to the Trust. The post will also play a key role in providing strategic financial management advice through Long Term Financial Models which they will oversee.

The successful candidate must be a methodical thinker, credible in person, professionally qualified accountant with exemplary leadership skills, high standards and strong attention to detail. You must be a naturally strategic thinker, and a robust, clear communicator to enable you to build effective relationships and influence challenging individuals at all levels, in and out of the organisation. Your significant post-qualification experience will have been gained within a large, complex and public sector organisation, but you must demonstrate detailed understanding of the NHS financial regime.
