About us
There aren't many organisations that can say they've been serving their community for over 550 years. Croydon Almshouses (CA) can and we're proud to be the oldest charity in Croydon, rooted in a long-standing commitment to local people and place. Since 1447, we’ve provided almshouse accommodation to older people with a connection to Croydon who are negatively affected by poverty. For the past 40 years, we’ve also awarded grants to voluntary, community and faith sector organisations, and individuals across the Borough. Now, our focus is firmly on what comes next. Our vision is to create thriving communities where everybody can live with dignity and independence, using our resources and agility to reduce the impact of poverty on people in Croydon.
To help us deliver this, we’re recruiting an experienced Facilities Officer, to support the Property & Estates Manager (PEM) in the day-to-day operation and management of its almshouses and the wider CA Investment Property Portfolio.
Essential criteria:
- A proven track record of experience working within facilities management and property maintenance
- Experience of coordinating and monitoring contractors and ensuring works are completed to an appropriate standard
- Experience of carrying out inspections, identifying defects and maintaining accurate records
- Understanding of building maintenance programmes
- Knowledge of health and safety requirements, fire safety, water hygiene, asbestos awareness, COSHH and general building compliance
- Legionella Awareness Training and Fire Safety Awareness training
Interested? If you are an experienced Facilities Officer wanting to provide high level support at an ambitious local organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
Closing date: Thursday 3rd September, 9am
Interview date: Monday 14th September, in person
