Environmental Health and Safety Manager

The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager is responsible for ensuring that the hospital environment is safe, healthy, and compliant with all relevant regulations. This role involves developing safety protocols, conducting risk assessments, and leading emergency preparedness efforts to protect patients, staff, and visitors.

The post holder will be responsible for the implementation of environmental facilities in a timely manner, whilst maintaining a high quality of service making sure that they adhere to all safety regulations. They will need to ensure that once new facilities are installed, there is a continuous maintenance and a clear path to improvement implemented. This will include making sure that regular checks are being made, with a smooth operating function of all facilities for the use of patients, staff and visitors.

African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has announced the commencement of its African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) project in Abuja, Nigeria. It will provide world-class care to both low and high-income patient groups across the continent. The AMCE in Partnership with King's College Hospital London will be located in Abuja, which is a hub for travel in Nigeria and West Africa, enabling it to attract patients across the region.

The African Medical Centre of Excellence will be implemented in four phases over a six-year period, starting with a 170-bed specialist hospital before expanding to a 500-bed facility. The centre will have the potential to provide services to over 200,000 patients in Nigeria and a further 150,000 patients from neighbouring West African countries within its first five years of operation.

The clinical areas the centre will specialise in Cardiology, Haematology and Oncology. A range of businesses providing relevant health support will support this facility and provide commercial services to its patients and staff, thus creating a healthcare ecosystem sustainably designed to deliver long-term value to its community and region.

This is an outstanding initiative and creates a unique opportunity to be involved in the opening chapter of this exciting project that is set to make a decisive impact on non-communicable disease care across Nigeria and West Africa. The AMCE will benefit millions of people in Abuja and over the wider regions of West Africa. The institution will act as a beacon of healthcare in Africa and will be the employer and healthcare provider of choice across the region. What makes this facility even more special is its very close partnership with King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
