Formed in December 2013 CHoICE is the subsidiary company of South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust (STSFT). Working in partnership with the Trust, CHoICE provides a Managed Health Care Facility to the Trust, to facilitate patient care., As Mechanical Supervisor you will be required to lead and supervise maintenance staff and specialist contractors. You will need to be able to plan, prioritise and implement Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) as well as manage the team to support Reactive service requests.

PPM comes with obligations in terms of Statutory requirements, but also contractual performance requirements (90%+). Similarly, response to Reactive requests, e.g. mechanical services breakdowns or requests, have performance requirements (90%+). Supported by a committed team of managers, these standards are currently attained, and resourced to deliver against them.

Maintaining Clinical Service needs, means there may be a requirement to support overtime or work to suit access requirements, which is not often but is required.

The team operate an Emergency On Call system, to avoid the needs for shifts, whilst balanced against maintaining support to patient care 24/7. The successful applicant will participate in the Emergency On Call (Engineer) rota as required.

In order to support the delivery of compliant systems, the applicant may need to be an Authorised Person (AP), in support of colleagues, in a number of areas, with Mechanical bias. AP roles are generally led by Estates Officers but supported by Supervisors. This offers an exciting opportunity for training and development, but also gain experience working alongside Estates Officers.
