JOB DESCRIPTION
Estate’s Senior Capital Projects
Manager
GOSH profile
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (GOSH) is a national centre of excellence in
the provision of specialist children's health care, currently delivering the widest range of specialist care of any
children's hospital in the UK. It is the only specialist Biomedical Research Centre for paediatrics, the largest
centre in the UK for children with heart or brain problems, and the largest centre in Europe for children with
cancer. It works in partnership with the UCL Institute of Child Health (ICH), part of University College London,
and together they form the largest paediatric research and teaching centre in the UK.
The hospital at Great Ormond Street is the only exclusively specialist children's hospital in the UK. It does not
have an Accident and Emergency department and only accepts specialist referrals from other hospitals and
community services. The population of children served by the hospital is characterised by those with multiple
disabilities and/or health problems and rare and congenital (present at birth) conditions. Many children need
the help of different specialist teams. Improvements in health care and diagnosis mean that many children
have dramatically improved survival rates and more therapeutic options than was the case 10 years ago.
Sadly though, many of the children cared for at GOSH still have life threatening or life-limiting conditions.
The hospital receives over 255,000 patient visits (inpatient admissions or outpatient appointments) a year,
and carries our approximately 18,800 operations each year.
The hospital has 383 patient beds, including 44 intensive care beds (21 CICU, 15 PICU and 8 NICU). Many of
the children and young people on our wards require high dependency care or are classed as ward intensive
care, requiring one-to-one nursing.
Around 4,100 full-time and part-time staff work at the hospital. The ICH has around 600 staff. Many senior
staff have roles in both organisations.
The hospital has approximately 50 paediatric specialties, the widest range of any hospital in the UK, which
uniquely enables it to diagnose and pioneer treatments for children with highly complex, rare or multiple
conditions. It has 19 highly specialised national services.
