Job description

Job responsibilities

This role requires an individual with knowledge, skills and experience to be able to provide support to Facilities Services in the delivery of a continuously improving safe, high quality service to patients, staff and visitors.

The role requires an individual with knowledge of Facilities Services and legislative requirements to enable a customer focused service delivery across the soft facilities functions.

To adhere to national and local initiatives in order to achieve their objectives, that feature in key performance indicators, balance scorecards and assessment of the Trusts performance e.g. Government Buying Standards, CQUIN, Care Quality Standards, PLACE, Cleanliness, Infection Prevention and Control, Nutritional Standards, HCAI, Health and Safety etc.

Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.

Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
