CHFT and CHS are at the exciting beginning of a major reconfiguration programme at Calderdale Royal Hospital, which includes the construction of eight new wards, an extended A&E department, and a multi-storey car park. This transformation will shape the future of healthcare delivery in our region. These roles will play a pivotal part in collaborating with the Reconfiguration Procurement Team to ensure that the goods, works, and services being procured today are fit for purpose both now and in the future.

CHS provides estates, facilities, medical engineering and procurement services to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT) and other customers.
