Building Team Leader
Grade E
Job overview
DSFS requires a highly motivated Estates Team Leader (Building) who will be based within the estates department at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. The role will work within the estates workshop as part of a team of circa 35 full time staff responsible for carrying out all reactive and planned maintenance safely and in line with the Key Performance Indicators agreed with the Trust. The post-holder is expected to spend approximately half of their week working on the tools and the other half dealing with supervisory items such appraisals, managing attendance, placing orders, dealing with queries from the hospital, etc.
The role would be required to participate in any future estates on-call manager rota. This would attract additional payments on top of the stated salary range. There will be regular requirements to work outside the normal estates hours (08:00 – 16:00 Monday to Friday) to manage service isolations to facilitate capital projects and hospital operations work and so a flexible approach to working hours is required.
The role will require occasional travel to our customers based outside of Chesterfield Royal Hospital, such as the community clinics that we manage for Royal Primary Care.
