The opportunity We have an opportunity for a Facilities Manager to join us on the exciting and rewarding path we are taking here at Castle Trust Bank. We pride ourselves in being a fintech challenger bank, providing specialist property mortgages, retail finance lending and savings accounts to a variety of customers. You will be responsible for ensuring the seamless day-to-day operation of our office environments and ensuring that their services meet the needs of the people working within them. This includes ensuring the overall functionality, safety, and comfort of the environment, as well as enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and standards. Some of the things you’ll get involved in: Coordinate maintenance, cleaning, vendor management, and building access. Oversee daily administration and create colleague communications. Monitor office supplies and manage supplier relationships. The role will involve physical lifting (office supplies and equipment). Ensure compliance with GDPR and health & safety regulations. Support company events and manage office projects and layouts. Control budget and seek cost savings. Maintain asset inventories and emergency response plans. This role will benefit a hybrid working arrangement, to be based between our Basingstoke office (3 days per week) and working the rest of the week from home. Whilst this role is Basingstoke office based, there is an expectation that the role holder will also oversee facilities of the London office and visit on a regular basis. What we are looking for in you… What is important to us is that you have proven experience in office/facilities management, ideally across multiple locations. You will need a basic understanding (minimum) of financial and budget management with demonstrable experience in contract negotiation and vendor management. Considering the compliance associated with the role, you will need to have familiarity with occupational health and safety standards (OSHA or equivalent). What is equally important to us is that you are adaptable and flexible and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. You will have excellent interpersonal skills for managing relationships both internally and externally, in addition to strong organisational skills, with the ability to pay excellent attention to detail. You will need to work well independently and as part of a team, with the ability to use your initiative and multitask. What’s in it for you… As well as a competitive salary, we offer an annual performance related bonus based on individual and company performance. In addition, a generous contributory pension scheme through Hargreaves Lansdown, life assurance, 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays on top) with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days (terms apply). In addition, you will receive an extra day paid annual leave for Volunteering. Wellbeing is also high on our agenda, and we offer healthcare benefits through Equipsme. In addition, all colleagues have free access to our EAP to support health and wellbeing. We also offer free eye test vouchers and discounted gym membership, and if that’s not enough, we also offer season ticket travel loans (if applicable). Caught your attention?
