Summary
We have an exciting new role for a Facilities Support Coordinator. You will provide both operational and administrative support across the Hospice facilities and estates services.
The role supports the effective day-to-day running of facilities functions including laundry operations, estates coordination, sustainability initiatives, and waste management processes.
The post holder helps ensure that Hospice environments remain safe, clean, dignified, and well maintained, supporting patient comfort, infection prevention, and efficient operational delivery across the organisation.
St Elizabeth Hospice is committed to safeguarding and protecting the adults and young people that we work with and has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse, neglect and discrimination of any person. As such, all posts are subject to a rigorous safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We have a range of robust safeguarding policies in place which promote safeguarding across the hospice and staff are expected to undertake regular, mandatory safeguarding training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond to potential risks.
We have over 30 charity sites across Norfolk & Suffolk which includes two retail centres in Ipswich along with a community coffee hub, a café and one Zest retail outlet. Other income is produced through our e-commerce sites, furniture operation and retail events.
St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness.
Established in 1989, the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves. Last year the charity supported over 4,000 patients and their families. The hospice’s work is centred on the individual's needs and they provide specialist support wherever it is needed; whether that is in the home, another setting in the community, in hospital or in the hospice itself. Support is provided to patients and their families via the Inpatient Unit, the Community Care Unit including outpatient’s clinics, home visits from the community nursing, medical or therapy team, the OneCall 24/7 telephone helpline and bereavement support.
In 2023, St Elizabeth Hospice merged with East Coast Hospice to form a collaborative approach to developing achievable and sustainable specialist palliative care services for people living the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area.
In addition to being part of a wonderful local charity, the hospice offers a generous benefit package, including:
27 days annual leave entitlement
Pension scheme (NHS pension transferable)
Life Cover
Free Car Parking
Cycle to Work Scheme
Car Leasing Scheme
Health Service Discounts
Occupational Sick Pay
Blue Light Card
Employee Assistance Programme
Medicash (cash plan)
Enhanced maternity/paternity leave & pay
