Boden Group are proud to be working with a leading FM provider to recruit a senior Hard FM leader for a high-profile acute hospital PFI contract. This is a pivotal role with full accountability for service delivery, performance, and contract strategy within a live healthcare environment.

The Opportunity

This is more than a maintenance role. You will take ownership of a complex Hard FM operation, leading engineering teams, driving performance, and playing a key role in the PFI contract handback process.

You will operate as a senior figure on site, influencing stakeholders, shaping strategy, and ensuring services are delivered safely, compliantly, and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead delivery of all planned and reactive Hard FM services across electrical, mechanical and fabric disciplines

* Take full ownership of financial performance across a £15m+ budget

* Build strong relationships with the Trust, SPV and key stakeholders

* Drive continuous improvement, service transformation and operational excellence

* Ensure full compliance with HTMs, HBNs, statutory regulations and H&S standards

* Lead the PFI handback and site condition audit process, managing outcomes via CAFM

* Develop, mentor and lead a high-performing team (30+ staff)

* Act as deputy to the Contract Director for all Estates matters

What We’re Looking For

* Proven senior leadership experience within Hard FM, ideally in healthcare/PFI environments

* Strong commercial acumen with experience managing large budgets (£15m+)

* In-depth knowledge of building services engineering systems and healthcare compliance standards

* Professional membership (or working towards) with bodies such as IHEEM, IET, RICS or CIBSE

* Excellent stakeholder management and leadership capability

* IOSH Managing Safely (or higher)

If you are an experienced FM leader looking to step into a high-impact, strategic role within a critical healthcare environment, this is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference.

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.
