Job summary
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.'
Understanding current and future pressures is key in South-West London, as 40% of our estate pre-dates the formation of the NHS. Fostering and maintaining relationships with stakeholders to support financial, sustainability and clinical requirements is fundamental to the role.

The post holder will be a subject matter expert on the Premises Cost Directions, and other relevant regulations. They will ensure that relevant policies, legislation, and guidance are current, and will propose changes when required.
The role will ensure that up-to-date comprehensive primary care property information is recorded, including local utilities and associated reimbursements. They will ensure that value for money is achieved in all rental, leasehold, and reimbursement agreements. This includes engaging with the DVO regarding new lease agreements and extensions, and their implications for the ICB.
The Premises Control Manager supports practices, ICB colleagues, and the DVO to ensure that premises concerns and queries are dealt with systematically and promptly.
Reporting to the Deputy Director of Estates, and producing papers for ICB committees, the post holder needs to provide and convey highly complex, sensitive, and contentious information, to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders in formal settings.
