About the project

HammondCare is creating a Centre of Excellence for the complex care of older people at Greenwich, delivering an integrated health campus designed to provide world-class care and services. The $300 million redevelopment will bring together palliative care, dementia care, restorative care and mental health services, alongside residential aged care and seniors living accommodation, creating a truly integrated environment for older people.

About the role

The Commissioning & Operational Readiness Manager will be HammondCare’s hands‑on lead for ensuring the new Greenwich facilities are fully tested, operationally ready and safe to open from day one. Reporting to the Project Director,



you will lead commissioning and operational readiness activities on site, ensuring that buildings and systems, equipment, services and people come together seamlessly ahead of activation. Acting as the critical day‑to‑day link between the Property and Capital Works team, Operations, Facilities Management, ICT and clinical teams, you will coordinate readiness across all aspects of the new campus.

You will work closely with the Senior Clinical Partner to ensure clinical services are ready for activation, and partner with the Senior Project Manager to embed commissioning activities, dependencies and milestones into the master programme, risk register and project reporting. This is a highly visible, hands‑on role for someone who can bring together the physical, technical and operational elements of a major redevelopment and turn a completed building into a safe, functioning and fully operational healthcare environment.

This is a full‑time, 24‑month maximum‑term opportunity, with the possibility of extension. Based at St Leonards, the role offers the flexibility of hybrid working, with travel to our Greenwich site and other HammondCare locations as required.
