Do you enjoy keeping workplaces safe, functional, and well-presented? Our client is looking for a proactive Facilities Assistant to support the day-to-day management of multiple office locations.
This is a hands-on facilities role where you’ll be responsible for maintaining high workplace standards across sites. From coordinating maintenance and managing suppliers to overseeing office moves and ensuring health & safety compliance, you’ll play a key part in keeping offices running smoothly and efficiently.
You’ll regularly travel between sites, acting as the on-the-ground point of contact for facilities matters.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the Facilities / Operations Manager with the effective running of multiple office locations.

- Liaise with external contractors and service providers to ensure work is completed on time and to standard.
- Carry out regular site inspections to ensure offices are safe, tidy, compliant, and well maintained.
- Support health & safety processes, including checks, reporting, and maintaining safe working environments.
- Maintain accurate records of assets, maintenance schedules, and supplier information.
About You
You’re practical, organised, and take pride in well-run, safe, and welcoming workplaces. You enjoy a role that combines coordination with hands-on facilities work and are comfortable responding to issues as they arise. You’re confident working independently and happy travelling between sites.
What You’ll Bring:
- Experience in facilities, operations, property, or workplace support (professional services experience desirable).
- A practical, problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach.
