Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management (NHFML) are the wholly owned subsidiary of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. NHFML were one of the very first wholly owned vehicles set up by an NHS Trust to manage its estate.
Their Managing Director was leaving the organisation after six years of leadership. It was essential that NHFML had a strong MD in place to take on the mantle and drive the direction of the subsidiary.
Hunter Healthcare was brought on board to source an individual with the technical qualifications to manage a large and complex public estate. Alongside this, the successful candidate would have to have ability to leverage opportunity and change were essential.
Firstly, and probably most importantly, Hunter Healthcare advised the client of modifications to redesign the job description. This aligned the job role to the future needs of the organisation. We then took a network driven approach leveraging our extensive estates contacts to identify credible options for the longlist. Following on from here we put candidates through an in-depth vetting process before presenting a shortlist for final interview with Northumbria.
We appointed an excellent candidate from out of sector. They came from the local University and had a fantastic track record for estates modernisation and investment.
