Terms: £15 per hour, invoiced by the Contractor on completion of each booking or on a monthly basis as agreed. As a self-employed contractor, the Facilities Coordinator is responsible for their own tax and National Insurance and is not entitled to holiday pay.

Engagement: Freelance, engaged on an ad-hoc or as-needed basis. The Contractor is free to accept or decline individual bookings, including evening and weekend work, and there is no obligation on either side to offer or accept a minimum number of engagements.

Location: London, any Trampery site. Main point of contact: Head of Facilities, for coordination on individual bookings.

BACKGROUND TO THIS ROLE

The Facilities Freelance Coordinator provides additional support to the Facilities Team during particularly busy periods, when an extra pair of hands is needed to keep on top of workload. The Facilities Freelance Coordinator service helps with the delivery of core maintenance and facilities support across The Trampery's sites, whether planned or reactive, as assigned on a per-task or per-site basis, and with the on-site coordination required to keep facilities running to a professional standard.

The Contractor will act as the designated point of contact for the tasks and sites they are engaged to deliver, responsible for ensuring work is carried out safely and to the standard agreed with the relevant Facilities Team. This engagement provides exposure to the delivery of a broad range of facilities and maintenance work within a multi-site environment, and is suited to an experienced freelance facilities professional already operating in building maintenance, property management or facilities operations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support core maintenance and facilities services for The Trampery, including planned projects, reactive maintenance, cyclical and preventative repairs, administration, and ad-hoc tasks as required. Previous trade experience in general building maintenance (carpentry, plumbing or decorating) is necessary given the nature of the role.
• Support the facilities team with the management of building fabric, plant and equipment maintenance, and damage or breakdown repairs, keeping the relevant facilities team informed of updates and live issues.
• Support regular building inspections to ensure facilities standards are maintained.
• Coordinate with the relevant facilities team and third parties providing facilities services, including but not limited to plant, security, cleaning, vending, maintenance, pest control and waste.

• Assist with office moves and space planning activities.
• Assist with project management and delivery of works across The Trampery.
• Work from any site assigned by the Head of Facilities, ensuring facilities are kept in proper working condition, and carry out minor odd jobs and non-skilled maintenance to resolve issues before escalating to external contractors.
