• Check proposed equipment against the approved Personal Needs Assessment (PNA).
• Review scope, costs and additional works for accuracy and value.
• Coordinate Purchase Orders and contractor mobilisation.
• Manage and monitor specialist equipment contractors and suppliers.
• Track installation programmes and proactively resolve delays.

About You

The ideal candidate will have experience in one or more of the following:

• Repairs & Maintenance / Property Services
• Stairlift, hoist or specialist equipment
• Healthcare or Social Care Equipment
• Contractor or supplier management

Experience with stairlifts, through-floor lifts, ceiling-track hoists or other specialist adaptations would be advantageous.
