NHS Property Services has appointed Rina Pandya as its new chief people officer.
She started at NHSPS in 2016 as its head of HR, progressing to head of people in 2018 and latterly head of people, transformation and culture in 2022.
Before joining NHSPS – which manages more than 2,755 properties across England, around 10% of the NHS estate – Pandya held senior HR roles at the Department of Health and Social Care, as well as British Gas owner Centrica and PR company Publicis Group.
In her new role within NHSPS’s executive leadership team, she will help shape the organisation’s people strategy with a focus on inclusivity. She will also drive its “get, grow, keep” talent attraction and retention approach.
