A career defining opportunity to shape healthcare.
Barts Health is one of the largest and most influential healthcare organisations in the country, serving a diverse population of over two million people across north east London while playing a leading role in shaping healthcare nationally. Operating at scale, but delivering locally across our five hospitals, we have a unique opportunity to improve outcomes, reduce inequalities and set the standard for healthcare.
We are seeking a Group Chief Financial Officer who is driven by that purpose and ready to make a lasting difference.
As a voting member of our Board, you will ensure that our resources are used to deliver the greatest possible impact for patients and communities. Working closely with our Chair and Group CEO, you will lead a long-term financial strategy that underpins high-quality, compassionate care, supports innovation and research, and enables us to respond to the changing needs of the population we serve.
Beyond finance, you will hold executive responsibility for estates, facilities and procurement across one of the largest NHS organisations in the country, overseeing significant capital investment, major commercial partnerships and one of the most substantial estate portfolios in the NHS. You will play a pivotal role in shaping how we invest, procure and manage our infrastructure, ensuring that every pound spent delivers value for patients while supporting transformation, sustainability and future growth across our hospitals and the wider health system.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
