Church Stowe, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

We've got an exciting opportunity to join the Stowe & Aylesbury Vale portfolio, supporting the Facilities team as Senior Facilities Administrator. You'll provide essential administration support to aid the smooth running of the facilities team, help ensure our properties remain safe and compliant. If you're organised and have excellent IT skills we'd love to hear from you.

The beauty of Stowe has attracted visitors for over 300 years and the wider portfolio includes Claydon House, Boarstall's medieval tower and duck decoy, Long Crendon Courthouse and Buckingham Chantry Chapel. You'll be joining a friendly team and will be based in Stowe's Estate Office at the New Inn visitor centre. You'll report to the Facilities Manager.

You'll support the operational team at Stowe by joining the duty management rota. This requires some weekend and bank holiday working, (approximately 1 weekend day every 3 weeks). Full training will be given

The National Trust is a busy organisation and the same is true of Stowe. As Senior Facilities Administrator supporting the Facilities team you'll schedule and deliver a programme of planned maintenence and inspections, you'll have an excellent attention to detail ensuring our compliance documentation is spot on, and you'll deliver excellent customer service to both our internal and external customers - logging maintenance issues and following up when they have been resolved.

You'll be trained to use our compliance and property systems and you'll have an enthusiasm for streamlining and improving processes. Excellent admin is the focus of this role and so you do not need existing knowledge of buildings, conservation or maintenance but you'll need a willingness to learn about the work of the National Trust in this area.

Who we're looking for:

  • Administrative experience, successfully supporting a department or small team
  • Skilled IT user, happy to learn and explore new IT systems and help support others
  • Highly organised and a confident multi-tasker
  • Willing to adapt to different tasks to help the team
