We’re a humble Trust but we are proud of our strengths: our clinical performance and sound operations - rooted in patient safety, robust governance and continuous quality improvement; our highly engaged staff, whose passion for patient care creates a palpable, warm and welcoming spirit; and, the innovative way we work with our partners. We are good - the CQC recognised this in May 2023 and our staff tell us this every time we ask them. But we want to be outstanding. Not for ourselves, but for the communities we serve.
We have clear ambitions for our finance function to be the very best it can be. The Deputy Finance Business Partner role will contribute to guiding and shaping that journey at both divisional and trust levels. We are looking for an individual who can use their initiative to deal with a constantly changing and challenging dynamic division.

We are looking for a team player with excellent communication and relationship building skills to join the team. These skills will be heavily relied on as the team are currently working remotely, so new staff can expect a warm ‘remote’ welcome but will need to have the ability to build relationships with the team and division whilst working from home for part of the working week. We’ve found this to be working successfully and applicants should be able to and be comfortable in working in this way.
