Are you an experienced estates professional looking for a role where your work really makes a difference? We’re seeking a Head of Estates to join our Team and ensure our Hospice sites, retail shops, vehicles, and wider estate provide safe, welcoming, and well-maintained environments for patients, families, staff and volunteers.

As Head of Estates, you will:

  • Lead the development and delivery of our Estates Strategy and long-term maintenance plans.
  • Oversee building maintenance, health and safety compliance, and estates-related contracts across all Hospice properties and our retail network.
  • Manage capital projects and sustainability initiatives, ensuring our estate supports both patient care and our Green Plan ambitions.
  • Act as the estates lead for fire safety, security and statutory compliance (e.g. legionella, asbestos).
  • Line manage and develop the Estates team, fostering a culture of high performance and continuous improvement.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Proven experience leading estates services across a multi-site, regulated environment (healthcare experience desirable).
  • Strong knowledge of health and safety legislation and estates compliance.
  • Experience delivering capital/building projects and managing budgets.
  • Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • A full UK driving licence.

In return, you’ll play a key role in our Hospice Leadership Team, shaping the future of our estate and ensuring our facilities support the outstanding care we deliver every day.

If you’re a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach and a passion for making a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you.
