The Estates, Facilities & PFI Division of the University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust is looking to appoint dynamic, enthusiastic Facilities Supervisors to support the Soft FM Domestic services. Candidates will predominantly be based at our County Hospital Site; however, there may occasionally be an element of cross-site working at the Royal Stoke Site. In such cases, free shuttle bus transport is provided from each site.
The individual will be adaptable, self-motivated, able to prioritize their own workload, and use their initiative to achieve set objectives and all duties required by the Trust to support the delivery of Housekeeping Services. This includes supporting the continuation of unity between County and Stoke Site practices through meeting key performance targets related to the National Cleaning Standards guidelines around Infection Prevention, maintenance standards, PLACE, and the reduction of hospital-acquired infections.
As part of the FM Services Team, the FM Services Supervisor will be responsible for managing the daily delivery of an efficient and effective customer-focused quality service, appropriately and on time. The scope of the service includes, but is not limited to, Cleaning and Residencies. The Supervisor will liaise with and maintain business relationships with representatives of management within the Trust and other agencies as requested.
With a team of over 100 staff members, comprising Supervisors and Facilities Service Support Assistants, candidates will require well-practiced leadership skills of a high standard, along with the confidence to challenge practices to contribute to the department’s success.
This role is both challenging and rewarding and will require an individual who is organized, consistent, has good leadership skills, and a knowledge of cleaning processes, COSHH, and Health & Safety.
As an organization, we recognize the importance of work-life balance, achieved through flexibility. Therefore, we encourage an adaptive approach to start and finish times to meet the right candidate’s needs. In turn, the successful candidate will need to be flexible in their working approach, as there will be a requirement to work varied shifts, including some weekends.
