- Monitor and manage stock levels
- Input into the ongoing review, revision and development of our health and safety policies and procedures
- Training will be provided for this role, in particular concerning practical work such as minor repairs.

**What we’re looking for**
- Some previous experience in a Facilities role is ideal, although for us, it is more important that you have a keen interest in Facilities and a strong desire to progress your career in this field.
- Experience in undertaking minor repair/remedial works within Joinery, Electrical or Plumbing would be an advantage, together with a general understanding of health and safety issues and legislation.
- Excellent communication skills
- Enthusiastic, organised and able to demonstrate a positive approach while working under pressure.
- Good IT skills are essential for this role
- A full clean driving license is essential

**Doing What’s Right**

A great working environment is the first thing you’ll notice. One where you’ll be inspired and supported by your colleagues. Where we’ll help you achieve what you want from your career. Where you can have both flexibility and connection with our supportive culture. Where you are valued. Where your voice is heard and you can make a difference through our employee network groups.
