Head of Estates and Facilities
Location: Nottingham Area
Salary: Starting salary from £80,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Type: Full Time | Permanent
Lead the delivery of one of the UK’s largest and most complex estates portfolios supporting vital public services.
We’re looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Head of Estates and Facilities to provide strategic and operational leadership across a major regional property portfolio. This is a senior leadership role, ideally suited to individuals with a strong background in estates, facilities management or property operations, whether from the public or private sector.
This is your opportunity to step into a purpose-driven role where your work will have a direct impact on essential public services, while operating at the scale and complexity found in the very best of the private sector.
About the Role
As an Head of Estates and Facilities, you’ll take full accountability for the delivery of estate and facilities services across a significant regional portfolio. This typically includes:
* Managing a £25 million+ budget across ~110 properties, with a total footprint of over 100,000 square metres.
* Leading and developing a workforce of 200+, including internal teams and third-party service providers.
* Delivering a wide range of hard and soft FM services, ensuring full compliance, safety, and service quality.
* Acting as the key regional leader, engaging with stakeholders to meet evolving estate and service needs.
You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the delivery of services that support front-line operations and contribute to long-term estate strategy.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide strategic direction and operational leadership across estates and FM delivery.
* Ensure services are delivered to a high standard, in full compliance with regulatory and safety obligations.
* Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure estate solutions are aligned with local and organisational needs.
* Monitor and manage financial performance, ensuring value-for-money across all operations.
* Drive continuous improvement, innovation and cultural change across your team and supply chain.
* Be available to manage critical incidents, including out-of-hours escalations when required.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome candidates from both public and private sector backgrounds, provided they can demonstrate leadership experience in delivering estate and facilities services at scale.
* Significant leadership experience in estates, property or FM operations.
* Proven ability to manage large, multi-site portfolios and operational teams.
* Strong understanding of compliance, health & safety, and service delivery frameworks.
* Financially astute with a track record of managing multi-million-pound budgets.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
* Passion for delivering quality services in complex, customer-facing environments.
* Experience in regulated environments such as healthcare, local government, education, defence, or infrastructure.
Why Apply? This is a rare opportunity to:
* Join a values-led organisation where your leadership makes a visible impact.
* Work across a high-profile, complex estate that blends public purpose with operational scale.
* Influence strategy, lead transformation, and drive excellence across a large team.
* Enjoy a competitive salary, car allowance, bonus scheme, and comprehensive benefits package.
