Job overview

Surrey Heartlands is an influential Integrated Care System (ICS) which has been at the forefront of health and care integration since its inception in 2017. Following a period of stable leadership, we are now looking for a new CFO to help lead the ICS on the next part of our journey.

You will be deeply committed to the integration agenda and have a natural ability to engage, influence and collaborate with multiple and varied stakeholders to continue our shared purpose towards improving the health and wellbeing of our population.

You will be a credible leader, capable of leading the health and care system through this period of significant financial challenge and in driving forward an ambitious sustainability plan at both system and Integrated Care Board (ICB) levels.

Main duties of the job

Key responsibilities will include the development and implementation of the financial strategy – including ensuring incentives are properly aligned within the system to help delivery of a ‘system control total’ reflected in operational business plans.

Your experience will help ensure systems, resources and teams are in place to provide complex analysis to understand the financial and service implications associated with commissioning decisions and performance of providers, as transformational developments are agreed and implemented.

We are looking for a high calibre individual who can lead us through this continued journey of transformation. If you share our ambition, vison, and values, then we look forward to receiving your application and meeting with you in due course.

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve. We want to increase the diversity of our NHS leadership and particularly encourage applications from women, people from black and minority ethnic communities, LGBT communities, younger candidates and from people with lived experience of disability, who we know are all under-represented in these important roles.

Working for our organisation

Surrey Heartlands is a partnership of organisations working together – with staff, patients, their carers, families, and the public – to support people to live healthier lives. Surrey Heartlands developed into an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in July 2022, working through 4 Integrated, dynamic, and sustainable partnerships (ICP’s) , each working together to deliver a shared vision across Surrey. ICP’s aim to improve how local services are designed and co-ordinated for efficiency and benefit to the patient and service users. Each partnership is based on co-operation with our component partners, and focusing on local population needs, priorities and decision making.  

 

The 4 ICP’s are known as:

• North West Surrey Alliance
• Guildford and Waverley Alliance
• Surrey Downs Health and Care
• East Surrey Place

 

We have an ambitious vision for transformation and continuous improvement of health and care across our footprint and to deliver our objectives we need a team of capable, collaborative professionals who share the same vision. We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better patient outcomes. We welcome all applications, especially those from underrepresented communities, including people with a disability, and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds
