We are currently seeking a highly experienced individual from a senior Estates Management background to join us as the Head of Estates at the William Harvey Hospital.

- Computer literacy and the ability to prioritize and manage a busy workload. - Excellent written and oral communication skills.
- Proficiency in CAD, BMS, and PPM systems. - A customer-focused approach.
- Excellent knowledge of healthcare guidance such as HTM's, HBN's, and other industry-specific guidance notes.
- Excellent knowledge of building regulations, project management, and related regulations (e.g., asbestos, water management, COSHH).
