About the role:

Are you a dynamic and proactive leader with a passion for creating well-run, welcoming and efficient workplaces? We're looking for a Facilities Manager to join our team and take the lead in delivering high-quality facilities services across all our sites. You'll play a vital role in ensuring our offices and reception services run smoothly, our contracts and suppliers deliver real value, and our teams have the spaces and resources they need to do their best work.

If you thrive in a busy, varied role where no two days are the same, and you're excited by the chance to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

About you:

Experience and understanding of facilities management processes. Broad knowledge of technical issues in property management. Qualification in Health & Safety relevant to the management of office and accommodation premises. Experience of procuring facilities related contracts for goods and services and of managing the performance of subcontractors. Experience of managing staff and of delivering quality customer services to internal customers. Experience of developing and working with Policies and Procedures in relation to facilities management processes. Strong communication, influencing and negotiation skills.
