Support roles

Keeping hospitals and healthcare facilities running smoothly requires a dedicated team working behind the scenes to maintain a safe, clean, and efficient environment.

These positions include maintenance engineers, porters, cleaners, security officers, and catering staff—each playing a crucial part in the NHS’s daily operations.

Working in estates and facilities means being part of a supportive team where your skills make a real difference. With varied tasks and opportunities to develop new skills, these roles offer both challenge and reward behind the scenes of healthcare.
