The Finance and Planning Directorate in NHS England is looking for talented, diverse, highly motivated people to join the Transformation Directorate Business Partner team as a Senior Partner in the Finance and Planning Business Partnering team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the heart of the NHS.

In the Finance and Planning directorate we:

ensure the NHS lives within its annual budget set by Parliament;
decide how to distribute the funding to the different NHS services and parts of England;
support innovative programmes that improve the care and experience of NHS patients or people using NHS services;
set out the financial and performance priorities the NHS should be delivering each year;
report how much the NHS has spent on providing services each year;
explore how the NHS can make the best use of its money;
look at how spend on building or equipment can improve the care and experience of people using NHS services.

consider how nationally we use these resources to improve healthcare outcomes, reduce inequality, improve health and support the NHS.

As a Senior Partner, you will work in a team of skilled finance and planning professionals.

You will build strong relationships with National Directors, leadership teams and key stakeholders and deliver insight which supports their decision-making and effective management of the financial performance of the Transformation Directorate.

The finance and planning business partner team offers high profile, fast-paced roles and involvement in key healthcare improvement related projects.

This requires adaptability, rigor and innovation and provides exciting development opportunities for those developing their careers in the NHS, health or the public sector.

Below are the types of skills and experience that we are looking for. Even if you feel you only meet some of the criteria, we encourage you to apply.

Understanding and experience of finance partnering techniques

Experience of effectively using financial planning, analysis, forecasting and communication skills to deliver a single source of the truth

Working with cross-functional teams to create compelling insights for stakeholders and value for money solutions

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.
