• A proven track record of senior leadership in estates, facilities, or a related field.
• Exceptional strategic and operational management skills.
• The ability to inspire and engage teams from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
• A passion for innovation and continuous improvement.
• A commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for patients and staff.

This role offers an incredible opportunity to make a real difference in a fast-paced and rewarding environment. If you are ready to take on this challenge and help shape the future of Estates and Facilities at Frimley Health Foundation Trust, we want to hear from you.
