Operose Health is hiring a Facilities, Health and Safety Coordinator to work from home, with occasional travel when required. The role pays £28,000 to £30,000 a year, is full time at 37.5 hours a week, and applications close on Monday 30 November 2026.

The vacancy was posted on NHS Jobs on Tuesday 10 November 2026. It is a chance to join one of the UK's largest providers of GP services, supporting the safe running of dozens of practices across the country.

What does Operose Health do?

Operose Health describes itself as a leader in digital-first primary care, providing high-quality, accessible NHS services for patients. It serves more than 640,000 patients across 66 GP practices nationwide.

The organisation operates primary care at scale, which means its facilities and health and safety teams look after a large estate of practice buildings. The new coordinator will support that work from home, travelling to sites when needed.

Running GP practices safely involves a wide range of compliance duties, from fire safety and legionella control to electrical and gas safety checks. Each practice must meet the same standards, and the coordinator role exists to make sure nothing is missed across the estate.

What the role involves

The coordinator will support the effective management and compliance of health, safety and facilities operations across the Operose Health estate, assisting the Head of Facilities, Health and Safety in maintaining safety and operational standards.

Duties include coordinating the external health and safety audit contractor, undertaking and reviewing risk assessments, including fire risk assessments, legionella risk assessments and general health and safety risk assessments. The post holder will also support compliance work, provide administrative support, coordinate programmes and workshops, manage incidents and maintain documentation.

Good communication skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office are essential. Experience in healthcare or a similar regulated environment is preferred, as is proven experience in facilities management or health and safety coordination.

The role suits someone who is organised and methodical, comfortable working with contractors and practice teams across the country, and able to keep accurate records that stand up to inspection. Because the post is home based, the successful candidate will need to manage their own workload and travel to practices when audits or assessments require a visit.

Checks and how to apply

The post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1975 (Exceptions Order), so a Disclosure and Barring Service check will be required before appointment.

Applications must be made through the NHS Jobs website, where the vacancy is listed under reference E0327-26-0618. The closing date is 30 November 2026.

The role comes as employers across the UK continue to hire cautiously. The Office for National Statistics reported in its October release that unemployment stood at 4.7% in June to August 2026, while vacancies had fallen to 691,000 in July to September 2026. A home-working post with a national healthcare provider offers flexibility that many jobseekers are looking for.
