Head of Finance Clyde & Women & Children’s Directorate

Overview

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK, employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non‑clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this post is Monday to Friday, 9am‑5pm.

We are seeking the Head of Finance (HOF) for Women and Children and Clyde services. The configuration of services and responsibilities may change due to an ongoing internal review. The HOF will provide leadership in ensuring decisive and essential financial management on all strategic and operational financial and governance matters to senior directors and board management in a tight, complex financial environment.

This requires initiating and developing cost‑improvement programmes and short‑ and long‑term financial recovery plans to achieve targets.

Lead the design, implementation, maintenance and ongoing development of the strategic and operational financial management arrangements for the Sector and Directorate, supporting NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s agreed single system working arrangements. Ensure efficient, effective and consistent working practices across the services.

Qualified accountant with a recognised Consultative Committee of Accounting Bodies (CCAB) designation. Demonstrable experience in a Senior Finance Manager role with significant budgetary responsibility, and expert in delivering a quality finance service, including performance management, project management, strategic financial planning and staff management.

We look forward to receiving applications, which will be given careful consideration.
