Executive Director of Finance & Resources

At Locala Health and Wellbeing, our purpose is to support people to thrive where they live. As a Social Enterprise, our mission is to provide exemplary, seamless and continuously improving care. We partner with others to reduce health inequalities and the demand for acute services. This makes us indispensable to people, partners and places. Our team of over 1400 dedicated colleagues work hard to maintain our CQC "Good" rating as we continue to be a leading provider of health and care services in the communities we serve, exhibiting exemplary quality in everything we do. From our Headquarters in Batley, West Yorkshire, we deliver a wide range of Adults and Childrens services across West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.

As part of our 2024-27 strategy, we have restructured our Executive Management Team, and are now seeking an Executive Director of Finance & Resources to act as our lead on all Finance, Estates, Digital and HR/OD matters, ensuring we are well positioned and capitalising on opportunities to deliver against our growth objectives.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will:-

• Provide inspirational and collaborative leadership to our Corporate Services colleagues in Finance, HR, IT and Estates (amongst others); ensuring they deliver high quality services that are in the top quartile of identified benchmarks in terms of cost and performance.
• Drive financial stewardship as Locala's Chief Accountant, ensuring Locala’s fiscal health while championing patient care. You'll spearhead financial planning initiatives, optimising resources for maximum impact and compliance.
• Realise annual efficiency targets, maintaining the financial sustainability of the organisation and ensure provision for strategic investment as required by our growth strategy.
• Lead the charge in shaping and executing cutting-edge organisational strategies, forging partnerships that fuel growth and innovation while adhering to industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Revolutionise operational excellence by streamlining processes and fostering a culture of innovation. Your leadership will spark transformative projects, driving sustainable change that elevates service delivery to new heights.
• Cultivate meaningful relationships and unlocking business opportunities alongside executive peers. Your strategic insights will propel Locala's mission forward, ensuring alignment with stakeholders' needs and aspirations.
• Empower individuals to reach their full potential, driving collective success and earning Locala recognition as an Investors in People Gold organisation.

We are looking for an energetic, self-driven and collaborative leader who is determined to make a difference and to therefore think differently about the role of our organisation in the markets in which we operate. You should have experience of working in an environment which exists to improve the lives of others. You should also enjoy challenging, (and being challenged on) the status quo as we drive our strategy forward.

In return we will offer you an exciting opportunity to work in an ambitious and collaborate team as we shape our services to support the communities we serve.
