Description
As a Senior Finance Business Partner (SFBP) at United Lincolnshire Hospitals, you will enjoy an exciting and rewarding role.

Working closely with the relevant Divisional Head of Finance (DHOF) and the Divisional Management Team, you can expect to play a vital role in the leadership of one of our Operational Divisions, where annual revenue expenditure budgets are £130m-£185m.


As formal deputy for the DHOF, you will have exposure to the wider senior leadership team of the Trust, including Executive Directors, through attendance at divisional performance review meetings.

You will join a growing and modernising Finance Department.


You will report to a DHOF and support them to deliver strategic and operational finance support and advice to the Division.


This role will give you opportunities to work closely with divisional & operational teams across the Trust, as well as take a leadership role within the wider Financial Management Team.


The role provides the post holder the opportunity to support a Clinical Business Unit as well as work at a more strategic level within the Division and develop your leaderships skills.

You will work closely with the DHOF to provide a professional and comprehensive Financial Management service to a division including: 1) involvement in development of the Division's annual and long-term plans and in the budget-setting process; 2) supporting the Division to identify/develop/implement opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency; 3) supporting the production of high quality and robust business cases enabling improvement across the Division; and 4) supporting the accurate and timely production of monthly finance and performance management information.


You will also provide day to day support and guidance to other members of the divisional finance team and will play an important role in developing their skills and those of the wider finance team.


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.


There are three levels, each designed to reflect the continuous development of finance functions and recognise the highest standards of financial competence and commitment to skills development.

Working towards Level 2 has enabled us to celebrate the things we do well while recognising areas for improvement along the way.

Level 2 represents a high level of sustained performance; Level 3 will be our next challenge where we seek to demonstrate that we are a leading-edge NHS finance function.


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