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.

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

Growth & Scalability

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.
