We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.

As Senior Finance Manager (Band 8a), you will:

Provide support to the Assistant Director of Finance in the delivery of a full financial business partnering function.



Support the Assistant Director of Finance to ensure there is a sound financial basis for business and service changes, ensuring robust reporting and analysis is provided to enable the Division to maximize its financial performance and the Trust to fulfil its corporate financial duties.

Deputise at all levels for the Assistant Director of Finance within the Division

Provide support to other Divisions and the corporate functions to maximize financial efficiency and provide the necessary support across all areas of the finance agenda



Develop business cases that support service improvements and ensure financial visibility.



This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced NHS finance professional to play a key role in shaping financial strategy and driving efficiency across the organisation.
