Job summaryTransforming our estate for the future There's never been a more exciting time to join the NHS as we transform our estate to deliver 21st century care and the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Estates are at the centre of the government's plans for transforming the NHS. The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the need to 'accelerate the redesign of patient care to future-proof the NHS for the decade ahead.' We have laid the groundwork for fundamental change to enable us to deliver on this commitment across our estate and we now need you to help us reap the rewards of this work.
We have big ambitions, such as becoming the world's first net zero health system by 2040, setting global standards for healthcare providers, building 40 new state-of-the-art hospitals, and channelling investment to accelerate community-based care for patients.
This is a pivotal time in the history of the NHS and a once in a lifetime career opportunity to be part of transforming the largest estate in the country. Join us as we embark on this seismic shift to future proof our estate.
The NHS Estate Our hospital estate spans 25 million m with 1.4 million NHS staff working across 17,000 buildings, including 1,140 hospitals and 7,500 primary care sites, our c100k staff are responsible for maintaining and running all EFM services.
With £5 billion of operational capital funding and annual expenditure of £10 billion across estates and facilities management, there's scope to make real change across our estate.
Main duties of the jobThe National Estates Sustainability team supports the NHS' net zero ambition by reducing the environmental and financial impact of operating the NHS estate, addressing two key areas: building energy and waste.

You will work across teams including the wider NHSE National Estates Team, Greener NHS, and estates and sustainability leads in ICSs, primary care, and secondary care. You will have line management responsibility including any apprentices/interns.
About you - A proven programme manager, you know the value of well administered programmes and the personal difference you can make. You will have a passion for sustainability with experience of delivering sustainability programmes within complex organisations.
You will work comfortably across teams to deliver outcomes. You will be confident using MS Office and analysing data, able to translate information into clear programme reports. You will be passionate about your own and your team's professional development which we will support and encourage.
