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
This is a role with influence; across our organisation, London and nationally - you will help shape how the NHS manages its resources, addresses inequality, improves access and delivers more integrated, preventative care. You will bring a voice that is both strategically influential and firmly grounded in the realities of frontline care.
We are looking for an exceptional values-led leader with the credibility to lead in a complex Group setting that requires matrix working, and the ambition to drive change at scale. You will combine deep financial expertise with the ability to lead through complexity, build inclusive cultures and inspire teams. Above all, you will share our commitment to equity, inclusion and better outcomes for all.
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are underrepresented within Barts Health at this band.
