  * Build strong relationships with the Trust, SPV and key stakeholders

  * Drive continuous improvement, service transformation and operational excellence

  * Ensure full compliance with HTMs, HBNs, statutory regulations and H&S standards

  * Lead the PFI handback and site condition audit process, managing outcomes via CAFM

  * Develop, mentor and lead a high-performing team (30+ staff)

  * Act as deputy to the Contract Director for all Estates matters

What We’re Looking For

  * Proven senior leadership experience within Hard FM, ideally in healthcare/PFI environments

  * Strong commercial acumen with experience managing large budgets (£15m+)

  * In-depth knowledge of building services engineering systems and healthcare compliance standards

  * Professional membership (or working towards) with bodies such as IHEEM, IET, RICS or CIBSE

  * Excellent stakeholder management and leadership capability

  * IOSH Managing Safely (or higher)

If you are an experienced FM leader looking to step into a high-impact, strategic role within a critical healthcare environment, this is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference.
