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 Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise medical technology jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and MDR/IEC 62304-aware channels that reach biomedical and medtech talent. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology 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.

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

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK medtech hiring over the next three years — devices, diagnostics and digital health. Medical technology is one of those rare sectors where commercial ambition and genuine human impact point in exactly the same direction. The devices, diagnostics, digital health platforms, and AI-powered clinical tools that medical technology companies develop do not just generate revenue — they extend lives, reduce suffering, and change what is possible inside the clinical encounter. That combination of purpose and commercial scale makes the medical technology jobs market one of the most compelling in the entire UK life sciences and technology landscape. And that market is changing faster than at any previous point in the sector's history. The integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic imaging, pathology, and clinical decision support has moved from research demonstration to regulatory approval and NHS deployment. Wearable and implantable devices are generating continuous patient data at a scale that is transforming how chronic conditions are monitored and managed. Digital therapeutics — software that delivers clinically validated therapeutic interventions — have emerged as a recognised product category with its own regulatory pathway. Surgical robotics has moved from a premium offering at a handful of specialist centres to a mainstream surgical platform whose capabilities are expanding with each generation. For job seekers, the medical technology jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both broader and more technically demanding than it was three years ago. The roles being created now span a wider range of disciplines, require a more sophisticated understanding of the intersection between technology and clinical practice, and carry higher regulatory expectations than the medtech jobs of even a short time ago. This article breaks down what the UK medical technology jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve in one of the most consequential sectors in the UK economy.
