The Estates Department is looking to recruit a highly motivated individual to work as part of a multidisciplinary management team. The department provides management, development, maintenance and operational support for the Trust’s buildings and engineering infrastructure. The role is critical to the Estates Department’s maintenance support service, and is demanding and varied as it covers a range of engineering services.
The role offers a significant opportunity to contribute to the smooth functioning and maintenance of a range of engineering services in the Trust’s clinical and non-clinical facilities of a very busy directorate, and to be part of a team that is constantly working to improve the quality and safety of the Trust’s healthcare facilities. The successful candidate will be based at Scarborough Hospital but must be willing to work at any of the Trust’s sites when required, and therefore must be able to travel independently across the Trust sites. You will be part of the Estates department on the Scarborough Hospital site working days Monday to Friday, but also covering when necessary across other Trust sites, hence you must be flexible regarding the hours of duty.
