Closing date: 26 November 2025.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Financial Strategy, Insight and Delivery team at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust as a Senior Finance Business Partner.

The role is integral to the delivery of the Trust's ambition to achieve a sustainable, breakeven financial position through outstanding use of resources. Aligned to clinical and operational teams, you will provide a highly professional and expert service.

The role will also help to deliver the collaboration agenda at NEL ICB, Acute Alliance and Place level as we strive to get best value from the Northeast London pound.

As a senior member of the organisation you would be expected to display ambition, providing inspirational, authentic and inclusive leadership, with a passion for delivering outstanding services for our residents and patients.

As an embedded member of the clinical and operational teams, you will influence use of resource through both strengthening daily management and improving longer term planning and decision making through application of actionable intelligence.
