Summary
We're looking for a Facilities Co-ordinator with the skills to keep Sizergh in tiptop condition and running smoothly for all the people who visit and love the place.
Occasional weekend and Bank Holiday working may be required. There is some flexibility on the working pattern, so we'll discuss at interview stages.
What it's like to work here
Working with the Facilities Manager, you'll mix practical on-site tasks with administrative duties.
Sizergh is an imposing medieval house situated at the gateway to the Lake District. The 1,600-acre estate includes our largest limestone rock garden and a national collection of ferns. Restoration projects within the house and garden have created opportunities in all areas, particularly within the extensive gardening operation and visitor experience. This is a lively property with a varied events programme and thriving café.
What you'll be doing
As the Facilities Co-ordinator, you’ll be making sure that Sizergh operates as it should, by running an efficient, effective and flexible facilities service. You’ll help the property team to meet their goals by keeping standards high. You’ll be helping with maintenance and repairs (reactive, as well as planned and preventative), the presentation of public areas and visitor facilities (including car parks and grounds), co-ordinating contractors and keeping maintenance records up-to-date.
You can view the full role profile for this role in the document attached. You don't need to have all of the knowledge, skills and experience listed in the role profile; this is just to provide a full picture of what’s possible in this role.
