Description
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. We employ over 20,000 colleagues who care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford. As one of the largest NHS Trusts in England, we are committed to enhancing the health of our local populations by delivering consistently high standards of care and working closely with key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference and we’re looking for people who demonstrate our three core values - care, appreciate and inspire – to join our team.
We are seeking a new Chief Financial Officer to join our Trust Board as we embark on a significant transformation journey as an organisation and as a system in Greater Manchester. This role will make a significant contribution to our shared vision, led by our Chief Executive, Dr Owen Williams OBE. In this critical role within our strong executive team, you will drive the development of an exceptional experience for both colleagues and patients; sharing our commitment to reducing inequalities. You will lead our finance, procurement and estates and facilities teams and bring clarity and oversight to the delivery of our Financial Sustainability Plan. Externally you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the financial sustainability of the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System; quickly establishing credibility with our partners as we seek new, ambitious and innovative ways to collaborate.
We are seeking an inspirational, inclusive and resilient financial leader with significant experience at board level within a large, complex health provider or system. Strong interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills are essential, along with a deep understanding of our services, a passion for reducing inequality and the ability to identify risks and opportunities. As an astute, compassionate and adaptable leader, we will look to you to bring your expertise and energy to guide your teams and our Board as we navigate complex and difficult decisions during challenging times. With strong political acumen and an open style, you will quickly establish trust and confidence with stakeholders internally and externally and excel in building effective and productive partnerships to deliver solutions across organisational boundaries both locally and regionally.
