Make a real difference to the spaces that help people thrive

At CrossReach, we support people across Scotland with services that promote dignity, inclusion and kindness. Behind the scenes, our Facilities Management team plays a vital role in keeping those spaces safe, welcoming and fit for purpose. We’re looking for a Facilities Management Officer to help us do just that.

You’ll be part of a supportive, experienced team, providing practical advice and solutions to services all over the country. From planned maintenance to managing building improvements, you’ll help ensure our properties and environments meet legal, safety and quality standards.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the development and delivery of our long-term maintenance and inspection programmes
• Visiting services across Scotland to check repairs, maintenance and improvement works
• Providing clear, practical advice to managers on how to maintain and improve their buildings and equipment
• Preparing reports, plans and specifications for maintenance works and alterations
• Monitoring contractor performance to make sure work is safe, on time and within budget
• Carrying out building surveys and compliance checks
• Liaising with authorities such as planning and building control where needed

What you’ll bring

• Experience in building maintenance, contract administration and project control
• Knowledge of construction techniques, building standards, CDM and Health & Safety regulations
• The ability to work well both independently and as part of a team
• A full UK driving licence (essential, as this role involves travel)
• Experience with CAD or preparing building warrant applications is helpful, but not essential

Why join us
We support all our staff and service users with compassion and care. You’ll have the chance to use your practical skills to improve spaces that really matter, in a role where no two days are the same. This role also comes with a car allowance, as regular travel across Scotland is part of the job.
