Facilities Services Assistant

Overview

We're looking for a Facilities Services Assistant to join our Facilities Team to help maintain our Leeds office running smoothly, safely and professionally every day.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of our office. You'll support the day-to-day delivery of facilities services, respond to colleague and visitor needs, and help create a welcoming, well-organised working environment.

Working closely with the wider Facilities Team, you'll get involved in a broad range of building operations, including office set-up, project works, supplier selection, meeting room support, health and safety, building maintenance compliance, physical security, and general facilities requests.

As the Facilities Services Assistant, you will:

• Support the Facilities Services Manager to make sure contractor work is completed safely, on time, within budget and in line with agreed standards.
• Help plan and oversee office moves, ensuring they are well organised and cause minimal disruption.
• Work with the Facilities Technician on maintenance tasks when required.
• Support with the management of building security including access control, CCTV and key management.
• Assist with regular health and safety audits and building inspections, resolving or raising any issues quickly with the Facilities Services Manager.
• Help keep facilities services running smoothly each day, making sure equipment and plant are maintained to a good standard and any maintenance is completed within agreed timescales.

 

We are looking for:

• Experience working in facilities management, ideally within a busy facilities team or similar office environment.
• A genuine interest in building skills and developing within facilities management.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high standards.
• Clear, confident communication skills, with the ability to work well with colleagues, visitors, contractors and suppliers.
• Good literacy and numeracy skills, with confidence handling everyday records, information and requests.
• A team-focused approach, with the confidence to work independently when needed.
• A facilities qualification would be helpful, but it isn’t essential for the role.
• A proactive, positive attitude and the commitment to follow tasks through.

Due to the nature of the role, this is a fully office‑based position at our Leeds City Centre office.

Some of our benefits include:

• Salary reflective of experience, circa. £30,500 per annum.
• Earn up to 10% of your salary with our annual bonus scheme.
• Minimum of 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays per year increasing to 31 days with length of service, with the opportunity to buy up to 5 days holiday per year.
• Auto enrolled into the workplace pension scheme, and we'll contribute a minimum of 6% of your salary. 
• 4x your annual salary in the event of a death in service.
