JOB PROFILE

ABOUT ADOPTION UK

Adoption UK is the leading national voice for adoptive families. We exist to ensure that every child and young person who cannot grow up with their birth parents gets the right support at the right time – from childhood into adulthood.

Every year, thousands of children in the UK are adopted – most having experienced trauma, loss, or neglect. Adoption transforms their futures, but it is rarely the end of the story. Adoptive families face unique challenges: children struggling to trust, thrive in school, or feel safe; parents battling to secure the right support; young people navigating identity and belonging. Without the right help, too many families reach breaking point. Adoption UK is there to change this. We are a lifeline for families – offering community, advice, advocacy, and practical support. We champion their voices with government and professionals, driving changes in policy and practice so that no adoptive family feels they are facing the journey alone.

With over 6,000 members, strong credibility with policymakers, and a powerful lived experience community, we are uniquely placed to influence change. Our mission is urgent and nationally significant: to ensure that every adoptive family can thrive, and every adopted child has the chance to fulfil their potential.

About St Elizabeth’s
 
Set in 60 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, St Elizabeth’s is a national charity supporting children, young people, and adults with complex needs — including epilepsy, autism, learning disabilities, and health conditions.
 
Our integrated site is home to a School, College, residential care, supported living, and on-site health services. Everything we do is underpinned by our values: Aspirational, Collaborative, Joyful, and Compassionate.
 
We’re now seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking estates leader to join our Executive Team and take responsibility for the future of our built environment — ensuring it supports our services today and scales to meet the needs of tomorrow.
 
About the Role
 
This is a strategic leadership opportunity to shape the future of a multi-disciplinary, regulated estate — across education, health, and social care.
 
As Director of Estates and Facilities, you will lead the long-term vision for our infrastructure, ensuring our spaces remain safe, futureproof, and aligned with the ambitions of a growing organisation. You’ll oversee major capital projects, environmental strategy, digital transformation of estates systems, and ongoing compliance across all services.
 
You’ll also consider how our estate can adapt and evolve to support growth — from off-site provision to new care models — and ensure we’re fully prepared for future regulation, climate impact, and service transformation.
 
Key Strategic Priorities
 
This is more than a property role — it’s about forward-thinking leadership across key areas:
 
Growth & Scalability

• Shape an estate strategy that supports future expansion into new geographies and service models.
• Plan infrastructure for offsite and outreach services in care and education.

 
Regulatory & Inspection Readiness

• Ensure robust, inspection-ready environments in line with CQC, Ofsted, HSE, and SEND standards.
• Build a culture of proactive compliance across all sites.

 
Digital Transformation

• Drive adoption of CAFM systems and smart building technologies.
• Use data to enable predictive maintenance, optimise space use, and enhance safety.

 
Sustainability & Net Zero

• Lead decarbonisation and retrofit initiatives aligned to net-zero goals.
• Secure external funding (e.g., Salix) to enable sustainable, future-facing development.

 
Risk & Resilience

• Develop estate-wide business continuity and emergency plans.
• Address risks posed by aging infrastructure, service disruption, and climate change.

 
Stakeholder Engagement

• Collaborate closely with service users, families, regulators, and commissioners.
• Ensure estate design and decisions reflect the needs of vulnerable individuals and inclusive practice.

 
What You’ll Bring
 
We’re looking for a standout leader who blends technical excellence with strategic vision and who’s ready to make a meaningful difference through place, design, and leadership.
 
Essential experience and qualities include:

• Proven experience in a senior estates or facilities leadership role
• A track record of delivering high-value capital projects and master planning across multi-site estates
• Strong understanding of compliance frameworks and regulated services (e.g. Ofsted, CQC, HSE)
• Passion for sustainability, digital innovation, and inclusive estate design
• Inspirational leadership with the ability to motivate multidisciplinary teams
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with excellent stakeholder engagement skills

 
Desirable: Professional qualifications (e.g. RICS, CIOB, IWFM) or experience in health, education, or social care settings.
 
Why Join Us?
 
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a unique charity with a proud history and bold ambitions. You’ll be joining a values-driven Executive Team, leading one of our most critical functions at a time of real growth and innovation.
 
We offer:

• Annual leave: 30 days plus service-related increases
• Healthcare: Bupa private medical cover
• Pension: Generous contributory scheme
• Wellbeing: Employee assistance, free parking, subsidised meals, and a beautiful countryside campus
• Development: A culture that invests in leadership, professional growth, and continuous learning
• The opportunity to shape one of the UK’s most distinctive models of integrated education, care and health provision

To apply, please submit your CV and a short supporting statement via our website.
 
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — early applications are encouraged.

REF-224 318

Are you looking to apply your administrative skills in a role that truly makes a difference? We have an exciting opportunity for an Employee Access Assistant and Driver based near Stevenage, although the role benefits from hybrid working, networking and local travel will be required in a professional setting.

In this role, you’ll support a visually impaired Guide Dogs Employee and Guide Dog owner, helping them perform their duties effectively through a mix of remote and in-person support. In-person support will be required once or twice a week locally in Stevenage involving tasks such as providing sighted guidance to navigate unfamiliar environments, helping with access to systems on a laptop, or describing the layout of rooms at events.

Your Microsoft Office expertise will be put to great use as you assist with a variety of administrative tasks, including document formatting, PowerPoint presentations, and note-taking. Your eye for detail will ensure that all documents are clear, accessible, and well-organised.

You’ll also help with travel arrangements as and when required, including collecting the employee and their guide dog from home and going to a train station or providing a travel from their home to various Guide Dogs sites. A full, clean driving license and access to a vehicle are essential, equipment to allow the guide dog in the car will be provided and travel expenses are covered. You’ll provide sighted guidance, ensuring the employee can navigate unfamiliar environments with confidence. As the employee is a Guide Dog owner, being comfortable with dogs and helping with their care, such as exercise, will be part of the role as well.

Your excellent communication skills and person-centred approach will be key in building a close, trusting relationship with the employee. Flexibility will also be crucial, as you’ll need to adapt to changing tasks and demands.

This role requires the ability to work under pressure and take initiative, managing your workload efficiently. Whether assisting with travel, preparing documents, or providing sighted guidance, your proactive attitude and organisational skills will be key to your success.

You will be fully trained in tasks such as sighted guiding and how to work confidently around a Guide Dog, ensuring that you feel supported and equipped, even if you haven’t had experience in this space before. We are committed to making sure you feel comfortable and encouraged in this unique role.

The role is 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Occasional flexibility will be required to work outside of core hours, including weekends and overnight stays.

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.
