Description

We have a substantive post available as Head of Locality Finance (HoLF) - North East & North Cumbria within the North East & Yorkshire region of NHS England.

This post is aligned to the Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) in North East & North Cumbria respectively.

Integrated Care Systems are a partnership where local partners - the NHS, councils, voluntary sector and others - work together to create better services based on local needs.

Each ICS has an integrated care board (ICB) which is an NHS organisation responsible for planning health services for their local population


The North East & Yorkshire region has an operational finance team led by the Director of Operational Finance, who reports to the Regional Finance Director and is supported by two Deputy Directors of Operational Finance.

Each HoLF role reports to one of the Deputy Directors and also works operationally with their aligned Integrated Care Board finance team.

The role has both region-wide and system-focussed responsibilities and will be undertaking a wide variety of work with multi-disciplinary regional colleagues, system and organisation finance leaders, and national colleagues.


The Operational Finance team operates hybrid working which provides the ability to work flexibly from home alongside office-based and other face to face working environments as required to most effectively deliver our business.

Due to the focus on aligned working with an ICB these posts will be based at a regional office within the relevant ICS geographic area, but the postholder should anticipate that delivering our business will require regular presence in a range of venues across the region and it is therefore necessary for the post holder to have the ability to travel efficiently.


In April 2023, NHS England, NHS Digital, and Health Education England merged to create a new, single organisation to lead the NHS in England.

This new NHS England is designed to create a simpler, smaller, high performing, organisation that leads the NHS more effectively and is a better place to work.

Speaking with one voice to the service.

The new NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.

Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.

Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care

Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation

Delivering value for money.


Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in-person.
