These include site refurbishments, redevelopments, and decommissioning works—all aimed at enhancing the built environment for our operational colleagues. You will support Estates & Facilities-led projects across the Sussex estate, working closely with departmental teams in both Surrey and Sussex.

This is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse world of soft FM service delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Coordinate and deliver building improvement and maintenance projects
• Work collaboratively with local teams across Sussex and Surrey
• Maintain standards police properties
• Contribute to a positive and safe working environment for all staff

Location & Mobility:

The role is primarily based at Lewes Police Headquarters; however, the post holder will be required to travel regularly across the Sussex Police estate. A full UK driving licence is essential, and the successful candidate must be able to pass a Police driving assessment to be eligible to drive Fleet vehicles.

What We’re Looking For:

• Self-motivated and organised, with the ability to manage a busy and varied workload
• Able to adapt to changing priorities and respond quickly to emerging needs
• Strong communication skills, with a customer-focused approach
• A sense of ownership and pride in delivering high-quality work
• Commitment to maintaining and improving our facilities for all stakeholders

What We Offer:

We’re committed to investing in your career development. You’ll have access to a variety of training opportunities, including:

• FM-specific technical training
• Force and departmental courses tailored to your role

Skills & Experience

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate the following skills, knowledge, and experience:

• Previous experience in a Facilities Management (FM) environment is desirable but not essential.
• Hands-on experience with minor maintenance tasks and building improvement projects, such as painting and decorating.
• Ability to work effectively both as part of a team and independently, with minimal supervision and remote line management.
• A willingness to undertake training to enhance your knowledge and develop new skills.
• Proven ability to contribute to team objectives while using your initiative to make informed, dynamic decisions that support organisational needs.
• A sound understanding of Health & Safety legislation and how it applies in the workplace.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Outlook, Word, and Excel.

Why Work With Us?

This is a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic public service environment, where you can develop new skills or build on your existing Facilities Management (FM) experience. You’ll be part of a team that takes pride in supporting front-line policing through the effective delivery of essential services.
