Estates & Facilities

Estates

Our estates services staff look after our hospital buildings and the grounds around them. Like any buildings, our hospitals need repairs and regular maintenance. As the needs of the NHS change, existing buildings need to be extended or renovated and new sites built. The building needs to be looked after – walls, floors and windows – as well as the systems inside them – heating, power and ventilation.  All this work needs skilled staff, often from the construction sector.

Our hospitals need to be safe and welcoming for staff and patients. Any repairs need to be carried out to a high standard by skilled tradespeople. These roles include: carpenter/joiner jobs, electrician jobs, painter and decorator jobs, plumber jobs, as well as garden and grounds staff.

This is an exciting time to join the Trust as we have successfully secured more than £312m of investment from the Government for the reconfiguration of our two hospitals. This is your chance to be involved in a team responsible for major change within our hospitals.

Facilities

We provide a comprehensive range of facilities management services to ensure our NHS colleagues’ environments are clean, safe, warm and pleasant to work in so healthcare professionals can focus on delivering excellent patient care.

Our Facilities teams operate the cleaning, portering and catering services across the Trust, covering roles such as cleanliness technicians, porters, catering, admin and financial support and analysis.

We want to get, grow and keep great people at every level aligned with our values and create an engaged and enabled, values-driven culture. We encourage our people to expand their skills and knowledge to drive their careers and reach their full potential.
