We are looking for an exceptional Director of Estates and Facilities to lead the development of a modern, sustainable, and strategically aligned estates function at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

As Director of Estates and Facilities, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across the Trust's estate and facilities portfolio, driving estate transformation, improving compliance and resilience, and developing a long-term Estates Strategy that supports both immediate operational priorities and future clinical ambitions. This role presents a rare opportunity to modernise infrastructure, strengthen sustainability initiatives, and create environments that better support patients, staff, and future models of care., Following the government review of the New Hospital Programme, HHFT is placing renewed focus on its existing estate, recognising the importance of strong estates leadership in supporting safe, high-quality, and sustainable care across the Trust.

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking estates leader with a strong track record of leading complex estates portfolios, ideally within the NHS or wider public sector. You will combine strategic thinking, operational credibility, and collaborative leadership, with a clear commitment to creating safe, sustainable, and patient-centred environments.
