My client is looking for a skilled and proactive Facilities Manager to take full ownership of maintaining and developing their new site, while also providing strategic oversight to their other community sites, 3 in total.

As a key member of the Senior Management Team, you will ensure all facilities are:

• Safe
• Compliant
• Well-maintained
• Operated to the highest standard
• Fit for future growth

You will lead all aspects of estates and facilities management, including:

• Planned and reactive maintenance
• Health & safety and statutory compliance
• Contractor and supplier management
• Site presentation and customer experience
• Infrastructure planning and improvement
• Supporting long-term occupiers and partners

Your work will directly support my clients operational and commercial success—ensuring their facilities remain welcoming, reliable and aligned with community needs.

This is not a shift role, but you will be the first point of contact for urgent issues via an on-call rota and may occasionally provide operational cover to support business continuity.

As Facilities Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the environment that underpins community programmes—from children’s activities and health initiatives to grassroots sport and social support services.

It’s a chance to:

• Make a visible and lasting impact on well-used community facilities
• Lead the long-term development of important local assets
• Work in a dynamic, collaborative environment with senior leaders and partner clubs
• Be part of a mission-led organisation improving lives through sport, wellbeing and community engagement
