This is an exciting time to join University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust as we build our new Emergency Department, open an additional Urgent Treatment Centre and implement our Electronic Patient Record: these are once in a generation changes for our NHS in the South West and we are seeking a highly experienced and motivated Director of Infrastructure Development and Site Services (DDIS) to lead our strategic planning, project delivery and stakeholder engagement for a range of infrastructure projects. You will be the key driver in ensuring the successful implementation of our ambitious infrastructure plans contributing to the growth of our hospital sites.
As the Director accountable for Estates & Facilities, the DIDSS will be responsible for the on-going development, implementation and support of many complex solutions for the delivery of estate strategy, facilities management and engineering services across the entire property portfolio.
The DIDSS will also provide oversight and scrutiny of the delivery of the Trust’s capital programme, ensuring that benefits are delivered, and Trust wide infrastructure risk is clearly identified, and managed. Alongside this, the DIDSS will provide advice on commercial contracting arrangements across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Take lead responsibility for the Estates Development for major capital projects, ensuring the effective planning, development and financial management of all services provided.
2. Establish and drive a robust governance process that provides assurance to the Deputy Chief Executive on the emerging estate infrastructure strategy and plans, and on the development and delivery of capital business cases through to realisation.
3. Manage the tension between the short to medium term clinical and infrastructure priorities and the long-term hospital redevelopment plans and be accountable for ensuring that the resulting risks are understood and are appropriately managed and mitigated where possible.
4. Support the development of a clinical strategy that underpins the development of business cases for hospital infrastructure and use this to develop the vision and roadmap for the future estate infrastructure required, leading on the development and management of plans to develop the hospital site in line with this programme.
5. Provide and receive highly complex information, communicate Estates & Facilities policy, technical information to Senior Managers, and conduct high level negotiations with contractors, consultant parties, local authority officers and other external bodies.
