Message from the Chief Officer

On behalf of Midlothian and East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnerships, I would like to thank you for your interest in the role of Chief Financial Officer for Midlothian and East Lothian Integration Joint Boards.

NHS Lothian works with Midlothian and East Lothian Council colleagues with a shared mission and vision to deliver and support innovation to deliver high quality Health and Social Care Services for their local authority residents.

Chief Financial Officer Role

This unique position provides direct support to the Joint Integration Boards for Midlothian and East Lothian. You will have lead responsibility for the strategic financial management of the total allocated budgets, providing advice and support to ensure the delivery of the IJBs directions for service provision and performance reporting.

You will be an effective communicator, with the ability to build and maintain effective relationships. A crucial component of this role is balancing the needs of the IJB with those of the Council and Health Board and their directors of finance. As such, you will be meticulous in your approach, with strong negotiation and influencing skills, with the ability to motivate and enthuse colleagues, partners and stakeholders.

This vacancy comes at a very opportune moment. With an ever-increasing ageing population, and a growing demand for health and social care services, we need to innovate our service delivery models to safeguard for the future. As Chief Financial Officer you will play a pivotal role in the process.

We very much look forward to hearing about your strategic approaches, and how together, we can provide the best health, best care and best value for our communities.
