Job overview
Transforming our estate for the future
There’s never been a more exciting time to join the NHS as we transform our estate to deliver 21st-century care and the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Estates are at the centre of the government’s plans for transforming the NHS. The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the need to ‘accelerate the redesign of patient care to future-proof the NHS for the decade ahead.’ We have laid the groundwork for fundamental change to enable us to deliver on this commitment across our estate and we now need you to help us reap the rewards of this work.
This is a pivotal time in the history of the NHS and a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity to transform the country's largest estate.
The NHS Estate
Our hospital estate spans 25 million m² with 1.4 million NHS staff working across 17,000 buildings, including 1,140 hospitals and 7,500 primary care sites.
With £5 billion of operational capital funding and an annual expenditure of over £10 billion across estates and facilities management, there’s scope for you to deliver real change across our estate.

* Lead management and development of the Patient Led Assessment of the Care Environment (PLACE) data collection.
* Identify and manage input to our guidance programme related to environment-related staff wellbeing.
NHS Estates specific knowledge is useful but not necessary as development on this will be provided, though a thorough knowledge of the NHS structure and policies nationally is required.

* Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
