Facilities Supervisors

Overview

The Estates, Facilities & PFI Division of the University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust are looking to appoint dynamic, enthusiastic Facilities Supervisors to support the Soft FM Domestic services. The Candidates will predominantly be based at our Royal Stoke Hospital Site. However on occasions there may be an element of across Site working at our County Hospital Site in Stafford, with free shuttle bus transport provided from each Site when required.

As part of the FM Services Team, the FM Services Supervisor will be responsible for managing the daily delivery of an efficient, effective, customer-focused quality service, appropriately and on time. The scope of the service includes, but is not limited to, Cleaning, Catering and Residencies. The role involves liaising with and maintaining business relationships with representatives of management within the Trust and other agencies as requested.

With a team of over 150 staff members, comprising Supervisors and Facilities Service Support Assistants, the successful candidate will require well practiced leadership skills, confidence to challenge practice, and the ability to contribute to the department’s ongoing success. The role is challenging and rewarding and requires organization, consistency, strong leadership, and knowledge of cleaning processes, COSHH, Food Standards and Health & Safety.

In line with our commitment to work–life balance, we support flexible working and an adaptive approach to start and finish times to meet the needs of the right candidate. The successful candidate will need to be flexible in their working approach, with duties including varied shifts including some weekends.
