Estates Co-Ordinator (Operational)

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Estates Department for an Estates Co-Ordinator (Operational). The post holder will assist the Estates Manager to maintain a high standard and to ensure continuity of service within agreed budgets, quality, statutory, safety and environmental standards.

You will have direct line management responsibility for Estates technical staff, technical contractors, maintenance assistants and porters which includes responsibility for managing associated budgets.

A flexible approach to work is necessary as variations to the standard working week may be required in order to meet the needs of the service. There will be a requirement for you to participate in the out of hour's on-call rota.

You will have completed a recognised and registered apprenticeship in electrical / mechanical engineering / building discipline or equivalent City & Guilds qualifications and have supervisory experience of a multi discipline and multi trade operational maintenance team., To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check this entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa, and settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, and if you can demonstrate such cover, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.

For specific types of post, it might be possible to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or 'going rate'. Further information on these criteria can be found here.

Please note that the State Hospital is NOT licensed to issue certificates of sponsorship under current UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) regulations. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship to work with us.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you have an appropriate right to work in the UK BEFORE applying.

Starting from 1 April 2024, the working week for NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland will be reduced. Full-time hours will be reduced from 37.5 to 37 hours, and part-time staff will get a pro-rata reduction in their working hours without losing any earnings. Although the State Hospital will implement this change, it may not be possible to transition fully from 1 April. Therefore, there may be some areas in the organisation where implementation may take longer. If the department cannot safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1st April, you may be required to work 37.5 hours per week (pro rata for part-time staff) until the department can meet the requirements without impacting patient safety. Of course, you will be remunerated accordingly. The State Hospital is committed to fully implementing the 37-hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe to do so.
