Managing Director, York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management

Dear colleague,

Welcome to York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management (known as YTHFM) and thank you for your interest in the opportunity to join us as the Managing Director. YTHFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of York & Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and we cover eight hospital sites with a workforce of just over 1,000 staff employed across our hospitals and in the community, and with an annual income of £91m.  

Our expert terms provide specialist services to the Trust in a whole range of areas from catering and cleaning, waste management, to maintenance of medical equipment, and buildings and infrastructure. The Trust’s capital programme, supported and delivered exclusively by YTHFM, has been running at around £50-£60m per annum for the last couple of years.  Later this year YTHFM will hand over the new Scarborough Urgent and Emergency Care Centre that, at £50m, has been the single biggest capital project YTHFM, or the Trust, has ever undertaken. Further projects amounting to c£30 million are due to be underway soon.

We are committed to being a provider of excellent estates and facilities services, and to ensuring that those accessing the Trust’s services experience these services positively and safely.  As we undertake a strategic shift to focus on our principal client, York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals, this role has a leadership opportunity to develop the company’s culture in line with the Trust’s visions and values. 

We are therefore seeking an experienced Estates and Facilities professional to join as Managing Director, someone with an effective, visible leadership style and with experience of supporting change and delivering outstanding customer service.  With overall accountability and responsibility for the company and for the delivery of safe, responsive, and cost-effective services, you will report through YTHFM’s Chair and its board (known as the Management Group) to the main board of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals.

Within this microsite you will find further information about this exciting opportunity and more about who we are. If you recognise yourself in our vision, beliefs, role description and person specification, we very much look forward to hearing from you. 

Best wishes

Julie Charge
Chair, YTHFM Board
