* Lead compliance with HTMs, HBNs, NHS Premises Assurance Model, and other regulations.
* Oversee the Business Continuity Plan and lead on estate-related risk management.
Facilities Management
* Lead the delivery of all hard and soft FM services (building maintenance, cleaning, waste, utilities, security, etc.).
* Ensure strong planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and responsive repair regimes.
* Drive environmental sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives.
Biomedical Technical Services
* Manage a national team of Biomedical Technicians servicing specialist renal equipment, dialysis machines, and water treatment systems.
* Ensure equipment meets MHRA standards and clinical service requirements.
* Collaborate with clinical teams to align technical support with patient care needs.
Finance and Risk
* Manage departmental budgets, capital planning, and procurement processes.
* Ensure value for money and contract efficiency.
* Maintain a robust risk register and lead incident investigations where necessary.
* Lead, support, and develop high-performing facilities and biomedical teams.
* Foster a culture of safety, accountability, and professional growth.
Stakeholder Engagement
* Act as a key contact for external inspections (e.g., CQC, HSE) and internal audits.
* Contribute to capital developments and transformation programmes.
What Our Client is Looking For:
* Degree in Engineering, Estates/Facilities Management, or a related field.
* Extensive experience in healthcare estates/facilities leadership.
* Proven experience with renal technical systems and biomedical teams.
* Deep understanding of HTMs, HBNs, and NHS estate compliance standards.
* Budget management and capital project delivery experience.
* NEBOSH General Certificate and IOSH membership.
* Postgraduate qualification in management or leadership.
* AP/RP status in key areas (e.g., water, ventilation, dialysis).
* Membership of relevant professional bodies (IHEEM, IET, etc.).
* Track record of driving cultural and operational change.
