A rare opportunity has arisen at UHSussex as we are looking to appoint an outstanding Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to be part of a leadership team that will take this Trust forward into a new era. This is a pivotal role in an ambitious organisation. We have built the foundations for greater future achievement through our investment in new clinical leadership, staffing, education, research and innovation.

We are seeking a new CFO who can guide and influence our journey of improvement. We are a large and complex organisation and the successful candidate will be an outstanding leader who will live our values and help us to drive forward our vision. It will be important to lead from the front and, as part of our Board, inspire a positive, open and learning culture, building credibility and confidence with colleagues, partners, communities and regulators at all levels.

We are seeking a CFO with a track record of expert financial leadership gained at scale in the NHS and in an organisation that has experienced significant transformation, as well as a leader who will demonstrate an alignment with our values. In addition, we would particularly welcome candidates from groups currently under-represented at board level because we value the diversity of our colleagues and actively champion an inclusive culture, believing everyone should feel free to be their authentic self in the workplace.
