THE COMPANY AND SITUATION:
A leading international provider of critical support services for public
authorities and corporate organisations is seeking an
experienced facilities manager (soft FM) to provide and manage Housekeeping and
Cleaning Services at a hospital in Middlesex. These services are being provided
on a supplier-to-client basis: Rather than being an employee of the hospital itself,
you would be an employee of the company that has won the contract to supply
these services and the hospital would be your client. As a result of this, we
need someone who is experienced in meeting contractual requirements in this
kind of situation.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
The
experience required for this role is as follows:
·At
least 10 years experience in the MANAGEMENT of Soft Facilities Management
Services including Housekeeping & Cleaning
·At
least 5 years of this must have been spent in the healthcare sector (NHS as
opposed to private healthcare)
·Strong,
dynamic personality, an “enforcer” who can makes things happen
·Commercially
and financially astute, knows the Soft FM market, understands the NHS
Please
note the above criteria are essential, you require all of the above in order to
be eligible for this role.
THE ROLE:
In
this role you will have a number of internal and external liaisons including,
but not limited to, Senior Managers, Helpdesk Team, Portering staff, Medical
staff and the general public. The crux of the role is to both provide and
manage the Housekeeping and Cleaning Services ensuring that standards meet
contractual requirements and service provision is in line with both company and
NHS policy.
THE OPPORTUNITY AND
PROSPECTS:
There
are a number of attractions here. Firstly, this is the first year of a contract
of at least five years, so this is a relatively low-risk option in these days
of poor job security and commonplace redundancy! As for the next step
career-wise for this person, there are several areas open to you including
compliance, audit or a more senior management post in either this contract or
others in healthcare or education. A longer-term opportunity associated with
this role is to eventually move up to the position of Head of Hotel Services
for this sector.
