Therefore, we must proactively and diligently review performance and continually improve our services. As a Facilities Administration Assistant you'll deliver a high level of admin support to the Facilities Administration Team Leader, Facilities Manager and Senior Facilities Manager to enable them to carry out their roles effectively across the BHF Retail estate. This will include various admin tasks such as

  • raising reactive and planned works orders on the property management system
  • record keeping via spreadsheets/database
  • liaising with all stakeholders and external contractors as required
  • ensuring any H&S issues are resolved as quickly as possible to maximise BAU trading

At BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average. The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause. Need more help balancing your work and home life?
