Facilities Manager

Summary Are you enthusiastic about historic buildings, working with people and delivering excellent service? Come and join our brilliant portfolio team in North Warwickshire working at both Baddesley Clinton and Packwood. 
We have a 6 month fixed term opportunity for a well organised Facilities Manager to ensure our properties and facilities are aligned with relevant Health & Safety, Environmental, Fire & Security standards.  What it's like to work here Baddesley and Packwood are two beautiful houses and gardens only two miles apart. Although distinct properties with their own histories and stories, they're managed together with many teams, including facilities working across both equally. As a key member of the Leadership team for the two sites you'll work as part of this dynamic and lively team to support the delivery of great experiences. Led by the General Manager, North Warwickshire includes Baddesley Clinton, Packwood and Coughton Court, and smaller pieces of land, and is dedicated to providing an inclusive and friendly welcome to all.  What you'll be doing For us, facilities aren’t a back office function, so you’ll be out and about inspecting our properties and keeping on top of our systems. As part of the property team, you’ll work closely with the Operations Manager in day to day tasks onsite. Reporting to the Operations Manager at Coughton, who acts as the Facilities Lead for the portfolio, you'll be accountable for the running of all aspects of facilities management across our properties, making sure we are safe and compliant. You'll manage a Facilities Co-ordinator and a Facilities Assistant. 
You'll also act as a Duty Manager. Working as part of our regular duty manager team, you'll be the designated main decision maker and responsible person on open days, working collaboratively with colleagues onsite to lead the team up to 6 days in every month as part of a regular rota, including weekend working. This means you'll be the first point of contact for any issues but you'll still benefit from the full support of your colleagues and Trust specialists, full training will be provided.
