Job description

This is an exceptional opportunity to join two outstanding organisations at the forefront of healthcare provision, playing a pivotal role in shaping environments that enable high quality patient care and innovation. As the Joint Director, you will hold overarching responsibility for the strategic leadership and operational management of the estates and facilities across our two Trusts, ensuring our environments are safe, sustainable, and fit for the future.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with our dynamic executive teams, senior clinical leaders, and external partners. Your leadership will be instrumental in driving our commitment to sustainability, enhancing operational efficiency, and delivering on our ambitious estates transformation agenda.

The Joint Director of Estates and Facilities has overarching accountability and responsibility for the Estates, Facilities and Estates-related Capital Developments at both Trusts. The postholder will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of an effective, long term estate strategy on each site, together with providing the professional leadership and operational management across their portfolio.

The Joint Director of Estates and Facilities will be the most senior responsible person, ensuring suitable and sufficient governance arrangements are embedded into the departments, which provides assurance to the Chief Executive and Trust Boards.

Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care NHS FT and Stockport NHS FT are two separate organisations working collaboratively with a number of Exec Directors working across both organisations.

The postholder will be the principal adviser to the Trust Boards on all land, property, estates, facilities and development matters, including statutory and other risks that will impact on the delivery of safe, responsive, cost-effective services. This is a senior corporate leadership role, involving close collaborative working with the Executive Team and senior clinical staff. The role carries significant responsibility for financial management and regulatory compliance.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and promote safeguarding by implementing the Trust’s policies and procedures, acting promptly on concerns, communicating effectively and sharing information appropriately.

If successful, this vacancy will require a Standard DBS check at a cost of £26.50. This cost will be deducted from your first Trust salary. In addition to this, it will be a condition of your employment that you will join the DBS update service and pay the annual subscription fee of £16.
