Job description

Burnside Hospital is seeking a dynamic and experienced Facilities Manager to lead the delivery of high-quality facilities services that support our staff, visiting medical officers, and patients. This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for ensuring our buildings, systems, and services operate efficiently, safely, and in alignment with our commitment to patient‑centred care. As Facilities Manager, you will drive strategic planning, operational excellence, and compliance across the Facilities portfolio. You’ll lead a high‑performing team, manage contractor relationships, and ensure our infrastructure supports the hospital’s brand, reputation, and service goals.

This is a permanent full‑time opportunity with a required presence across both Burnside Hospital sites.

We’re looking for a tenacious, results‑driven leader who brings:

• Proven senior management experience in a similar industry with commercial responsibility
• Expertise in hospital facility planning, maintenance, and service delivery
• Strong leadership and team management capabilities
• Financial acumen and experience managing budgets and resources
• Project management, problem‑solving, and negotiation skills
• Excellent communication and computing skills (Microsoft Office)
• Ability to influence, implement change, and drive continuous improvement
• A flexible, proactive approach and a resilient, “can‑do” attitude
• Commitment to Burnside Hospital’s values‑based approach

Burnside Hospital’s history is steeped in strong community connection. Often described as a country hospital in the city, we’re proud of our reputation for quality care and providing a warm and welcoming environment for patients and our people. If you’re passionate about driving innovation, compliance, and operational excellence in a values‑driven healthcare environment, and are looking for an employer who values individual contributions, offers continuous professional development, and is able to provide careers that are rewarding and long lasting, we want to hear from you!

Benefits

• A Healthy Work‑Life Balance: We seek to provide you with an exceptional life experience. That’s why we offer flexible working hours and schedules within a supportive environment that values both your professional and personal life.
• Convenience and Safety: Free car parking options available at our hospitals, located in the eastern suburbs close to the city.
• Career Development: We offer structured training programmes, educational support, and development initiatives to help you build your capabilities and potential for career and personal growth. We’re a stable and secure organisation with a reputation for quality service, big enough to provide opportunities while being small enough to know your name so you’ll feel seen and heard.
• Competitive Benefits: Our not‑for‑profit status allows us to offer salary‑sacrificing arrangements where a portion of your income (up to $18,550) is allocated to pay for approved living expenses, meals, entertainment, and vehicle novated leasing before your income tax is calculated, meaning you pay less income tax and have more money in your pocket.
• Wellbeing: We ensure our people are well supported through free counselling and physiotherapy assistance, pharmacy and health insurance discounts, free flu vaccinations, and generous leave entitlements.
• Peer Recognition: We value everyone’s contributions, and our reward and recognition programme is designed to celebrate the people who truly embody our values and make our workplace exceptional.
• Impactful Work: Working at Burnside Hospital means making a difference in the lives of the people we serve. You’ll be part of a team that is dedicated to providing compassionate, high‑quality care to our patients every day.
