About us
Estates & Facilities (E&F) is the largest professional services directorate at King’s with the widest variety of roles servicing our campuses and community. We enable King’s world-leading research, excellent teaching, and vibrant student life through the stewardship of one of the UK’s most significant and complex university estates.
About the role
We are seeking a senior health and safety leader to partner with the E&F Executive Director and Senior Leadership Team, providing independent oversight and assurance across a diverse, high-profile environment.
You will assure health and safety performance across more than 100 buildings ranging in age from the 1780’s to the current day, spanning five central London campuses, including facilities embedded within major NHS Trusts and a substantial student residences portfolio.
This is a senior individual contributor role with dual reporting to the Executive Director and Senior Director of Strategy & Performance. It is designed for a leader who operates credibly at executive level, able to influence direction, challenge constructively, and bring clarity and sound judgement to complex and often ambiguous risk landscapes.
This role does not hold operational responsibility for delivery. Your impact will come from setting expectations, testing performance, and ensuring that risks are understood, owned, and acted upon at the right level. Success will depend on your ability to maintain independence, hold senior stakeholders to account, and build confidence in the directorate’s assurance approach over time.
You will bring significant experience from a large, multi-site or similarly complex organisation, with a track record of operating beyond operational management into strategic oversight and governance.
This role will suit someone who is self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and confident in maintaining their position when influencing becomes challenging. A visible on-campus presence, typically 3-4 days per week, is essential to engage effectively with senior leaders and operational teams.

We value independent thinkers, working on your own initiative, but also those who can work collaboratively with a team, and bounce those ideas.
Why is this role important?
The Methodist Church has committed to achieve net-zero by 2030. An ambitious target yes, but one we believe to be crucial in securing a better future for our communities. Our new Net-Zero & Grant Enabler will play a significant role in enabling our churches in London to secure funding to help achieve this goal and benefit from the wider impact of reaching net zero.
