Estates Manager

Estates managers make sure that our hospitals and other sites are the safest and best possible places to be for patients, staff and visitors.

Working life

As an estates manager, you're responsible responsible for maintaining NHS properties. This may include:

  • buying and selling of property
  • organising repairs and maintenance
  • project managing building and renovations
  • In many hospitals, you're also responsible for facilities management. This can include domestic and hotel services, catering and laundry teams.

    Senior estates managers work strategically to plan:

  • the design and building of new hospitals and clinics
  • changes to contracts for services to the NHS
  • selling or redeveloping sites no longer required
  • At any level estates managers have responsibility for:

  • recruiting and training staff
  • managing absence and discipline
  • controlling budgets

Who will I work with?

You will work with estate technicians as well as members of the corporate services team such as surveyors and architects. You will also work with other estates and facilities managers, admin staff, HR and finance managers. You will have some contact with clinical staff, but little or no contact with patients.
