WORKING PATTERN: Monday-Friday 08.45 to 17:15 with a 1 hour lunchbreak
SALARY: £24,879.83
Do you have a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and good literacy, numeracy and IT skills? Are you highly organised, proactive, and happiest in a varied role where no two days are quite the same? Do you enjoy taking ownership and making sure everything around you runs exactly as it should? Interested in working towards a recognised qualification whilst working and earning?
We have the job for you!
At Simplify, the Facilities Co-ordinator is all about helping to keep our Leicester HQ running safely, smoothly, and efficiently.
Working as part of the friendly and supportive Facilities department, you'll take responsibility for a varied range of activities across the site. One minute you could be carrying out routine checks and inspections, the next arranging a repair with one of our contractors, replenishing supplies, setting up a meeting room, or welcoming visitors into reception.
You'll help us maintain high Health & Safety standards, conducting regular inspections and assessments, keeping accurate records and ensuring our safety equipment and systems are maintained and in good working order.
You'll also work closely with contractors and service providers, coordinating repairs, scheduled maintenance and inspections, as well as helping to resolve minor facilities issues and escalating anything requiring specialist attention.
Alongside the practical elements of the role, the Facilities Co-ordinator provides general administrative and reception support, manages facilities mailboxes and records, arranges meeting rooms and catering, distributes post and deliveries, and help us maintain a professional, welcoming and secure environment for everyone using our Leicester HQ.
You'll be happiest when you're busy and will enjoy having plenty of different things to keep on top of. You'll be organised, proactive and able to prioritise effectively, with the confidence to build great working relationships with colleagues, contractors and suppliers.
This is a diverse and interesting role, which will suit someone who is people focused, can multi-task, and think on their feet.
Following successful completion of probation, there will be an opportunity to enrol upon a Level 2 Facilities Services Operative apprenticeship for the right candidate.
Competitive Salary of £24,879.83, working from a modern office, 25 Days Holiday (Plus 8 Days Public Holiday) increasing with length of service, Option To Buy Or Sell Holiday, Life Assurance, Enhanced Maternity, Paternity & Adoption Pay, Free Conveyancing Legals, GP-24 Hour Service, Retail Discounts, Free On-Site Parking, Plus Many More!
To be successful in this role, you'll be able to demonstrate a positive attitude towards work and education, and an interest in, or some light work experience in, facilities, reception, office support, office-based customer services, or a role combining several of these areas.
You'll be highly organised with strong prioritisation skills, and be comfortable managing multiple tasks at the same time. Facilities can be unpredictable, so you'll need to be proactive and adaptable, able to spot what needs doing and take the appropriate action rather than waiting to be asked.
You'll be comfortable carrying out routine site checks and inspections with appropriate training. You'll also need to be confident dealing with contractors and suppliers, and building effective working relationships with our colleagues.
You'll have good literacy, numeracy, and IT skills, including proficiency across the full Microsoft Office suite, and be comfortable maintaining accurate records, managing emails, and keeping on top of scheduled activities.
Just as importantly, you'll be approachable and professional. You'll regularly interact with colleagues, visitors, clients, contractors and suppliers, so you'll need to be personable and friendly, yet professional, with excellent communication skills and a collaborative, helpful approach.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and will take great pride in creating a safe, organised, welcoming, and well-run working environment.
Closing date: Midday on Friday 27th November 2026.
