Erskine Veterans Charity
Head of Facilities Management
Salary: £68,000–£80,000

 

Livingston James is delighted to be supporting Erskine Veterans Charity in the appointment of a Head of Facilities Management, a key leadership role that will help ensure the organisation’s estate continues to support the delivery of outstanding services to veterans and their families across Scotland.

For over a century, Erskine has supported veterans across Scotland through exceptional care, housing and community services. Its estate is at the heart of that mission, providing the environments that enable veterans and their families to thrive.

Erskine is seeking an experienced Head of Facilities Management to lead the strategic and operational management of a diverse property portfolio, including care homes, the Veterans Village, supported accommodation and community facilities across Scotland.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will lead the development and delivery of Erskine’s estates and facilities strategy, ensuring its buildings remain safe, compliant, sustainable and fit for the future. You will oversee maintenance and capital investment programmes, drive improvements in performance and value, and play a key role in supporting the organisation’s future growth, including the development of new Veteran Activity Centres.

We are looking to speak with commercially minded facilities management leaders who have experience managing complex, multi-site estates. You will have a strong track record in compliance, health and safety, contractor management, asset planning and budget leadership, alongside the ability to build effective relationships with colleagues, suppliers and senior stakeholders.

Experience within the care sector is not essential. Applications are welcomed from candidates with facilities leadership experience gained in sectors such as housing, education, defence, commercial property, hospitality, infrastructure or other safety-critical environments.

This is a unique opportunity to combine strategic influence with meaningful purpose, helping to shape the environments that support veterans across Scotland today and for generations to come.

Based at Erskine Veterans Village in Bishopton the role will involve travel to services across Scotland as required and operates within Erskine’s hybrid working model, with the successful candidate expected to spend around 50% of their time on site.
