Head of Workplace

Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication. We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate easily with each other. And we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better. We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar. Our products are used daily by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals, impacting millions of lives.

Your role will be mission‑critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You'll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care. You will lead the safe, efficient and well‑run operation of Accurx’s workplace and facilities, owning the day‑to‑day performance of our office environment, ensuring it is compliant, inclusive, cost‑effective and enables teams to do their best work.

You will oversee facilities, office operations, catering and on‑site events, while leading a high‑performing team and managing external partners to deliver a consistently excellent workplace.

To give a flavour of what you might be working on, right now we are focused on:

• Safety & Compliance: Full compliance with workplace health & safety obligations, with risks identified, documented and escalated appropriately.
• Operational Reliability: Office, facilities and kitchen operations run smoothly with minimal disruption to teams.
• Budgetary Control: Office and kitchen spend tracked, forecasted and managed within agreed budgets.
• Workplace Experience: A welcoming, inclusive and functional workplace that reflects Accurx’s culture and ways of working.

The Unique Challenges You’ll Solve

• Workplace & Office Operations: Own the day‑to‑day operation of all office spaces, including meeting rooms, collaboration areas and shared facilities, ensuring an excellent employee and candidate experience. Lead office layout changes, space planning and internal moves aligned to business needs, and deliver improvements that enhance inclusion, efficiency and usability. Oversee and continuously improve the onboarding experience for new joiners onsite.
• Facilities & Building Management: Hold overall responsibility for the building and facilities services, managing and negotiating contracts across hard services (HVAC, electrical, mechanical, fire safety) and soft services (cleaning, security, waste, pest control), benchmarking cost and quality to ensure best‑in‑class delivery.
• Kitchen & Catering: Ensure the in‑house kitchen operates safely, compliantly and within budget. Hold chefs accountable for food safety, inclusive provision and financial sustainability.
• Events & Projects: Manage internal events end‑to‑end, coordinating with stakeholders (e.g. Talent, Marketing) to ensure alignment, appropriate resourcing and smooth execution. Lead the planning and project management of the annual three‑day summer conference.
• Team & Stakeholder Leadership: Lead, coach and develop a high‑performing workplace and facilities team. Build strong cross‑functional relationships (People, IT, Finance, Events and senior leadership) and communicate office updates clearly and appropriately to relevant audiences.
• Budget, Risk & Governance: Own the office and kitchen budgets in partnership with Finance, tracking spend and identifying efficiencies. Ensure compliance with workplace legislation (including health & safety, GDPR and cyber security), maintain a risk register, and escalation transparently to senior leadership.
