Join our Facilities Management team, helping to support the safe and effective day-to-day running of the prison estate. The role is focused on the smooth delivery of planned and reactive facilities services while maintaining the operational, contractual, safety and security standards required within a secure environment.

This is a great opportunity if you already have facilities experience and want to take the next step in your FM career. While you won’t have formal direct reports in this position, you’ll provide day-to-day operational leadership, coordinate activities and work closely with colleagues, contractors and stakeholders across the establishment.

What you will do:

• Coordinate the day-to-day delivery of planned preventative maintenance, remedial works, reactive tasks and minor project activities, helping ensure work is delivered safely and to the required standards.
• Provide clear operational direction and support, helping colleagues understand priorities and ensuring facilities activities run smoothly.
• Help ensure contractual commitments, operational standards and compliance requirements are consistently achieved, including performance against service level agreements and key performance indicators.
• Support high standards of health, safety and security for colleagues, customers, premises and equipment while working within the requirements of a secure custodial environment.
• Act as a key day-to-day contact for facilities operations, working collaboratively with the Facilities Manager, contractors, custodial colleagues and other FM disciplines and escalating risks or issues when needed.
• Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency and service delivery, taking a proactive approach to resolving challenges.

What you will bring:

Essential

• Previous facilities experience with a good understanding of facilities management and operational service delivery. Previous Team leader experience preferred but not essential.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships with colleagues, contractors, custodial teams and client representatives.
• Good organisational and time-management skills, with a proactive, adaptable and reliable approach to working in a busy operational environment.
• An understanding of risk assessments, method statements, safe systems of work and wider Health & Safety compliance.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and the ability to use facilities work management systems to track and report activities.

Desirable

• An IWFM Level 4 or Level 5 qualification, or equivalent, or working towards one.
• Experience of working within a secure or highly regulated environment.
