Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a skilled and experienced Contract Manager to lead on the management of third party contracts across our Estates and Facilities service at Central London Community Health NHS Trust.

In this key role, you will oversee a range of contracts including a newly awarded Integrated Estates and Facilities service and a range of other Estates-related contracts, from waste suppliers to third party service contracts and newly installed assets, ensuring providers deliver safe, compliant and high quality work. You’ll be the main point of contact for providers, working closely with Estates, Procurement and Clinical teams to monitor contract performance, lead on procurement processes, and support the long term planning of Estates provision.

You’ll also play an important role in aligning Estates contract outcomes with national standards, NHS guidance and regulatory frameworks including the Premises Assurance Model (PAM) and Care Quality Commission (CQC) requirements. SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance and a working knowledge of this within an operational or contractual context would be a benefit.

This is a senior role, with responsibility for developing and overseeing Estates contracts that support the safety, financial viability and compliance of the Trust’s buildings and Estates & Facilities functions. Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as the primary management lead for the set up, performance monitoring and review of contractual arrangements between CLCH and the core Integrated Estates and Facilities service provider.
• Leading on the procurement and monitoring other Estates and Facilities related contracts.
• Analysing contract performance using KPIs and service reports, and providing assurance through reporting to various Trust committees.
• Manging contract finances, including delegated budgets and authorising payments.
• Ensuring that the Trust’s Estates and Facilities suppliers are performing in accordance with their contractual obligations and holding them to account where this is not the case.
• Operate within the newly formed Trust Estates function to support the Director of Estates and Facilities Management to act as a point of leadership and subject matter expertise overseeing contract management.
• Build strong working relationships with providers and service users across the Trust.

This is a varied role in a newly established team where you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we deliver Estates services across Central London Community Health.

Just as we care about our patients’ well-being, we care about yours!

We can offer you

• A comprehensive induction into the community service followed by a local induction to introduce you to the role
• Car lease scheme (only available for Band 5 and up)
• Flexible working options
• Annual travel card loan
• Training, support and development in your career
