Description

United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust is going through an exciting period of change and development to support the delivery of our vision and strategic objectives.

The Trust Board has just signed off Year 4 of our Integrated Improvement Plan (IIP) "Outstanding Care, Personally Delivered".

This important and exciting document celebrates our successes over the last year and looks at what we want to achieve over the next year.

It is great to work in a Trust with such a clear plan about what we hope to achieve, and the projects to get there offer you the chance to further develop your experience and knowledge as you build your career.


This post is key to taking forward the modernisation of the finance function through the continuing development of financial ledger systems and processes to meet the current and future needs of the Organisation.


The postholder will be key in the further development and promotion of the Overseas Visitor function and in enforcing Legislation to ensure appropriate charging of Patients who do not meet the eligibility criteria for 'free' NHS treatment.


The role carries responsibilities in terms of Statutory, Trust Board and Sub-Committee reporting requirements as well as lead responsibility for VAT, P11D and IR35 tax related issues.


The Trust provides a shared service function to the Lincolnshire Community and Mental Health Trusts for the provision of financial systems, payments and treasury functions; the postholder is responsible for service delivery against this contract.

Similarly the role is responsible for operational issues arising from outsourced payroll services.


On a monthly basis you will ensure the accurate and timely production of monthly finance and performance management information for the divisional management and senior finance teams.


You will be responsible for directing, motivating, and managing the teams under your supervision and will play a key role in developing their skills and those of the wider finance team.


Our Trust is situated in the beautiful county of Lincolnshire and is one of the biggest acute hospital trusts in England, serving a population of more than 700,000 people.

We provide acute and specialist services to people in Lincolnshire and neighbouring counties. We have planned income of £727 million (2023/24) and we employ roughly 8,500 people.


Our Board have recently agreed a new vision statement - "Outstanding Care Personally Delivered" - stating their ambition for our Trust to be among the best.


We also have a five-year Integrated Improvement Plan setting out how we will achieve our strategic objectives, for patients, services, people and partners, the last recognising that our future success depends on our ability to ensure the Lincolnshire healthcare system is successful in achieving its ambition to help people live healthier lives and provide care closer to where people live.

Our latest CQC report increased our ratings for being effective and well-led from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good'. Our rating for caring remained as 'Good'.


This is in recognition of the huge amount of work that our amazing staff have done to improve the quality of care for our patients in recent years.


We are committed to helping our staff balance their work and home lives and ensure they feel supported, valued, and appreciated.

You will join a growing and modernising Finance Department which recently achievedOne NHS Finance Towards Excellence accreditation level 2.

You will report to the Assistant Director of Finance for Financial Services and directly manage the Financial Systems, Overseas and Payments teams.

You will provide direction and support in these areas and be integral to the management and delivery of shared services to external partners within the Lincolnshire Health Community.


We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join our diverse workforce which accurately reflects the values of the trust, patients, and population that we serve within Lincolnshire.


As a team, we recognise the importance of continuous improvement, and are committed to reviewing and renewing our service offer to the Finance Team, Trust Divisions / Directorates, and our Partners at Lincolnshire Community Health NHST and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS FT.

Aligned to this is our ongoing desire keep the patient at the centre of everything we do.


Our staff have opportunities to gain experience and develop their skills and we encourage them to generate innovative ideas that help to support our services in providing excellent patient care.


In May 2023, the NHS Finance Leadership Council agreed that the ULHT Finance Department should be awarded One NHS Finance Towards Excellence Accreditation, Level 2.


This accreditation recognises NHS organisations that have the very best finance skills development culture and practices in place, and demonstrates the strength, quality and positive culture of the finance team.
