Shape the future of Cambridge University Hospitals

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is creating a new Accountable Care Group (ACG) operating model, bringing clinical, operational and professional leadership closer together and creating greater accountability for the performance and development of our services.

We are seeking exceptional Directors of Finance and Productivity to join the senior leadership teams of our new ACGs. These are significant Band 9 leadership roles, each providing senior financial and productivity leadership across a major clinical portfolio with annual income and expenditure of approximately £500m.

As a full member of the ACG Senior Leadership Team, you will work alongside the ACG Managing Director and senior clinical, operational and professional leaders to shape strategy, determine priorities and make choices about how resources are deployed. You will have a central role in developing the ACG’s annual and medium-term plans, improving productivity, supporting service transformation and ensuring that financial sustainability and value are integral to decision‑making.

This is much more than a traditional senior finance role. You will combine financial leadership with a deep understanding of clinical and operational performance, using data, insight and constructive challenge to help improve productivity and develop services.

As Director of Finance and Productivity, you will be the senior finance leader for your ACG and a full member of its Senior Leadership Team. You will provide strategic financial leadership, professional advice and constructive challenge, helping the ACG deliver high‑quality services within its available resources.

You will lead the development and delivery of the ACG’s annual financial plan, budget and medium‑term financial trajectory, ensuring that financial plans are aligned with activity, workforce, quality, operational, research, education and strategic priorities. Where performance is off track, you will play a leading role in developing and driving recovery action.

A major focus of the role will be productivity and financial improvement. You will set the strategic direction for the ACG’s productivity programme, working with clinical and operational leaders to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce unwarranted variation, optimise income and deliver sustainable improvements.
