Are you keen to play a key and hands on role in the development of our site in Canterbury and help drive the growth and engagement of our occupiers?

Flexspace is the UK’s leading provider of flexible workspace for small to medium businesses and this vacancy is for a part time Centre Manager for our Canterbury site with occasional travel to one other south-east site.

You will need to be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about the site and always looking at what they can improve, whether at a personal level, site level or company wide.
