Facilities Office Assistant
Location: Preston (with regular travel to other offices)
Start Date: End of July / Early August
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm (35 hours per week)
Reporting to: Facilities Manager
Please note: A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential for this role, as regular travel between offices is required. Mileage and parking costs are covered.
We're looking for a Facilities Office Assistant to join our growing team—a perfect role if you enjoy variety and don't want to be tied to a desk all day.
This position offers a balance of admin-based tasks and hands-on work. You'll be using Microsoft Office to manage data, respond to emails, and maintain databases, while also getting involved in practical duties like restocking supplies, minor repairs, moving furniture, and occasionally redecorating.
You'll be based in Preston but will regularly travel to our other offices to ensure everything runs smoothly. We'll provide training in systems, maintenance tasks, and health & safety procedures—so no previous facilities experience is required, just the right attitude and willingness to learn.
As our Facilities team expands from two to three, you'll play an important part in keeping our offices safe, efficient, and well maintained.
