Director of Estates & Facilities

Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust

Attractive Six Figure Salary

Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is a large, complex and ambitious organisation serving over half a million people across Wakefield and North Kirklees, with more than 10,000 colleagues delivering services across three hospital sites and multiple community settings, as well as in peoples own homes.

We are now seeking a Director of Estates & Facilities to lead at a pivotal point in the Trust’s development.

As the Head of our Infrastructure Division you will take overall responsibility for strategic planning and operational delivery of estates and facilities across the organisation, ensuring a safe, compliant and future-ready environment that supports high-quality patient care.

This is a high-impact leadership role. You will shape and deliver the Estates Strategy, align infrastructure with clinical priorities, and lead a broad portfolio including estates, facilities, capital projects, property, sustainability, PFI and medical devices.

The challenge is significant. The estate is complex, with legacy infrastructure, PFI arrangements and a clear need for strong grip across compliance, capital delivery and long-term planning. In return, this role offers real scope to influence, modernise and leave a lasting legacy.

We are looking for a senior leader with:

* A strong track record in estates and facilities at scale

* Strategic capability alongside operational delivery focus

* Experience of leading change in complex, resource-constrained environments (ideally healthcare estates)

* The credibility to operate at the most senior level and build strong partnerships both internally and externally

This is an opportunity to lead through complexity and directly impact how care is delivered across a major NHS Trust.

For a confidential discussion, full candidate pack and job description, please contact Jonathan Phillips at Seymour John.

Please note: Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is working with Seymour John as its retained recruitment partner. Any direct applications to the Trust will be forwarded to Seymour John

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
