The purpose of this role is to provide a support service to the Division by ensuring the site is maintained in compliance with cGxPs, safe and secure. This includes aspects of infrastructure, facilities, utilities, and processes critical to the compliant and efficient operations of the Division.

This is a matrix role which requires the post holder to work closely with other stakeholders outside the Division to remain compliant with TRUST polices regarding facilities, security, HS&E and waste management.

Primarily reporting to the Head of Production, the post holder will be expected to work autonomously to:

• Line Manage the HPS Domestic / Specialist Cleaning Team.

• THIS (IT Infrastructure)

• CHFT H&S
• External Contractors

You will be expected to use judgement based on facts and analysis to coordinate and plan the Trusts support departments to ensure that the needs of the Division are met supporting the efficient and continuous supply of medicines to patients nationally.

The HPS Domestic / Specialist Cleaning Team provide specialist cleaning of Grade D and C clean rooms, general cleaning duties of shared communal areas / corridors as well as warehousing, offices and laboratory.
