Are you someone who enjoys fixing things, takes pride in keeping buildings looking their best, and likes the satisfaction of no two days being the same?

We're looking for a practical, reliable and proactive Facilities Caretaker to join a friendly and supportive team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied, hands-on role and wants to make a real difference to the day-to-day running of a busy and welcoming office environment.

The Role

As part of the Facilities Team, you'll help ensure the buildings, grounds and communal areas are safe, well maintained and operating efficiently. From carrying out minor repairs to preparing meeting spaces, liaising with contractors and supporting health and safety compliance, you'll play a key role in keeping everything running smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include:

Carrying out routine maintenance and minor repairs across the site.
Completing regular building inspections and reporting any maintenance or safety concerns.
Coordinating maintenance requests and working with external contractors.
Assisting with planned preventative maintenance programmes.
Undertaking routine health and safety checks, including fire alarm testing, emergency lighting checks and other compliance activities.
Supporting PAT testing (full training can be provided).
Preparing meeting rooms, training areas and event spaces.
Receiving deliveries and providing general operational support.
Helping maintain attractive communal areas, including light gardening and general housekeeping tasks.
Monitoring building services and reporting any faults or issues.
Travelling to other nearby sites when required.

About You

You'll be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, can turn your hand to a variety of practical tasks and takes genuine pride in a job well done.

We're looking for someone who has:

Previous experience in a facilities, caretaker, maintenance or similar hands-on role.
Practical DIY and basic repair skills.
The ability to organise and prioritise a varied workload.
A proactive approach and the confidence to work independently.
Excellent communication skills and a friendly, approachable manner.
A full UK driving licence.

It would be great if you also have:

A PAT testing qualification (or are happy to undertake training).
Knowledge of health and safety procedures.
Experience working within an office or commercial environment.
An understanding of HVAC or building services.

Why Apply?

This is a varied and rewarding position where your work will be genuinely valued. You'll join a collaborative team who take pride in maintaining a high-quality working environment, with opportunities to learn new skills and develop your career along the way.

If you're practical, dependable and enjoy being the person people can rely on to keep things running smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.
