We have an exciting opportunity to join the team at Thames Valley, supporting the Facilities Manager as Facilities Coordinator. You'll provide efficient, effective, and flexible facilities management services across our three sites, helping to ensure our properties remain safe and compliant.
You'll support the operational team at Thames Valley by joining the duty management rota.
What it's like to work here
Made famous through Downton Abbey and Bridgerton, Basildon Park, an estate saved from almost certain demolition and lovingly revived, is one of three special places in the Thames Valley portfolio. Greys Court, a picturesque 16th-century mansion with tranquil gardens, and Nuffield Place, the beloved home of one of the most prolific philanthropists of the 20th century, are the other two. Our properties, gardens, and wooded parkland offer glorious seasonal colours, with spring bluebells, summer buttercups, and autumn leaves, providing a peaceful and tranquil place to nurture and grow a flourishing career.
You'll work three days per week, which will occasionally involve weekend and/or evening work to meet the needs of the business.
What you'll be doing
As Facilities Coordinator, you'll support the delivery of high standards of facilities support services to our property teams.
Reporting to the Facilities Manager, you'll ensure our compliance and property systems are up to date and support teams to follow guidance and meet deadlines.
You will develop and oversee maintenance and repairs programs, working with contractors to ensure work is delivered to high standards.
Supporting the development of the visitor experience, you'll ensure high presentation standards in visitor-facing areas and that facilities services meet visitor needs by carrying out repairs.
