  • Team Support: Work collaboratively with the Workplace/Facilities Coordinator and Manager, taking ownership of assigned tasks and helping prioritise daily activities.
  • Communication & Stakeholder Management: Maintain professional communication with employees, clients, contractors and internal teams.
  • Safety & Compliance: Follow workplace safety and security procedures, reporting hazards and incidents promptly.
  • General Facilities Support: Assist with additional workplace duties as directed by the manager.

  • Experienced in a professional environment (2–3 years minimum).
  • Organised, methodical and able to manage competing priorities.
  • Professionally presented with excellent communication skills.
  • Customer‑focused and confident interacting with clients and staff.
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office and comfortable with general IT systems.
