Welcome Letter
Thank you for showing interest in these pivotal posts at the Royal Free.
We are proud to work for one of the leading trusts in the country which boasts great outcomes and efficient service delivery. We are one of the vanguard organisations for testing new models of service provision in the NHS and are one of the few accredited hospital groups in England. In July 2017 we moved to this new group model and we are already seeing the benefits of hospital leadership teams focussed on the delivery of excellent and cost effective hospital services with the support of a group wide support services delivered at scale.
The Royal Free Hospital was established in 1828 by William Marsden on the founding principle that they would take in anyone who needed treatment – the first hospital in London to do so. As we enter the latest phase of our development the role of Director of Financial Performance at the Royal Free Hospital is fundamental to the success of the. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive the financial performance of the largest hospital in our group whilst also playing a full role in the senior leadership team of the Royal Free. This role is also the Deputy CFO and so will be key to driving forward a number of the benefits we believe will be accrued by our group model.
It is clear that the NHS is facing one of the most significant periods of uncertainty in its long history and the future will bring new challenges. In the 70th anniversary year of the NHS we believe that we have a plan that will provide one of the blueprints for NHS sustainability into the future.
This is why we’re looking for a determined, forward thinking and astute individual who can meet the challenge and is committed to driving forward our ambitious plans and delivering our goal of becoming Europe’s leading healthcare provider. We are looking for a team player to join an excellent leadership team.
We hope you will consider this a fantastic opportunity, read the information provided here, talk to our recruitment advisers, and come to see the hospital for yourself. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the trust.
