The Role

This is a pivotal role responsible for leading the strategic and operational management of estates and facilities services across two very different yet complementary hospice environments and associated trading operations.  One is a brand new, state-of-the-art building that offers a modern, inspiring place to work, providing exceptional opportunities to introduce new ideas and ways of delivering services.  The second is a well-established, purpose-built hospice that has been serving the community for over 40 years and now requires ambitious redevelopment.  A key part of the role will be to shape this transformation, drawing on the innovation, learning and design of the new site to inspire the future.

  • Drive a culture of customer service excellence, innovation and continuous improvement.
  • Lead, inspire and develop multidisciplinary teams.
  • Use data, technology and digital systems to improve performance and decision-making.

Requirements

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Head of Facilities to lead our Estates, Facilities, Hospitality and Support Services functions. This is an exciting opportunity to shape and deliver high-quality, safe and compliant services that support exceptional patient, visitor and colleague experiences across our hospice sites.

Essential:

  • Degree in Facilities Management or equivalent experience.
  • Professional membership of IWFM or equivalent professional body.
  • Health & Safety qualification (e.g. NEBOSH or IOSH).
  • Significant leadership experience within estates and facilities management.
  • Experience managing multiple service areas, such as estates, maintenance, catering, housekeeping or facilities operations.
  • Strong knowledge of health & safety, compliance and regulatory requirements.
  • Experience managing budgets, contracts and procurement.
  • Proven ability to lead change and deliver service improvements.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management and leadership skills.
  • Strong digital and data analysis capabilities, including Microsoft 365 applications.

Desirable:

  • Experience within healthcare, hospice or other highly regulated environments.
  • Experience developing commercial or income-generating services.
  • Experience managing capital projects and business development initiatives.

Key Benefits

  • 35 days annual leave rising to 37 after 5 years and 41 after 10 years (inc. bank holidays, pro rata for part-time employees)
