Estates Director

We are working in partnership with a well-established and privately owned elderly care provider to appoint an Estates Director to oversee the maintenance and estates function across a large multi-site portfolio. This is a newly created position designed to provide dedicated leadership across the group's leasehold estate, allowing the existing senior team to focus on future developments and expansion projects. The Estates Director will take ownership of all maintenance, compliance and refurbishment activity across the portfolio, ensuring homes remain safe, compliant and commercially effective. Working closely with the ownership team, home managers and maintenance staff, you will oversee planned and reactive maintenance programmes, manage contractors, review capital expenditure and drive continuous improvements across the estate. This is not a purely strategic or office-based leadership position. The organisation is seeking a practical, commercially aware individual who enjoys spending time in services, understands building maintenance and can confidently balance operational priorities with financial responsibility. The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining and improving a diverse portfolio while helping to shape long-term estates strategy.
