Facilities Management Apprenticeship - 18 months Fixed Term Contract in Maidenhead

We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to join Housing Solutions as a Facilities Management Apprentice on an 18-month fixed-term contract, while working towards a Level 3 Facilities Management Supervisor qualification. As our Facilities Management Apprentice, you’ll support the smooth day-to-day running of our Head Office buildings, helping to create a safe, compliant and positive working environment.

Working alongside experienced colleagues, you’ll learn how facilities management supports the wider organisation, from coordinating maintenance and monitoring contractor performance to supporting health and safety processes and workplace checks. You’ll help respond to facilities requests, raise and track repairs, support the testing and maintenance of key building systems, and assist with activities such as fire alarm testing, fire drills, DSE records, first aid supplies and noticeboard updates. You’ll also play an important part in making sure our offices are clean, functional and welcoming, supporting meeting and event set-up when needed.

Throughout the apprenticeship, you’ll take part in training, assessments and development activities, building the skills and confidence to contribute independently to the efficient running of the organisation.

We’re looking for someone with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in facilities management. You’ll be polite, professional and approachable, with good communication skills and a customer-focused mindset. Any previous experience of practical or manual work, building management, health and safety, first aid or fire safety would be helpful, but it isn’t essential for this role. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team, be willing to get involved in a wide range of tasks and take a practical approach to problem solving. You’ll also be comfortable using office-based IT software such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. We’re looking for someone educated to GCSE standard or equivalent, including Mathematics and English Language, who is committed to completing the apprenticeship qualification and putting their learning into practice at work.
