Job Description

This practical, people-focused role helps keep Folkestone's Creative Quarter safe, welcoming and well cared for. You'll support the upkeep of our unique buildings, coordinate day-to-day maintenance and cleaning, liaise with tenants and contractors, and play a key part in creating a positive environment for residents, businesses and visitors alike.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged, and we will close applications once a successful candidate is found.

Salary: £25,691 per annum
Full-time

Job Requirements

This role ensures that the Creative Quarter is a clean, safe place for tenants to live, work and play in, and is an attractive environment for visitors to enjoy. This positive experience is achieved through the work of this role and the Estates Operative, both of whom ensure the property portfolio is clean, in good repair, and compliant.

The maintenance of the Creative Quarter is overseen by the CQ Estates Manager. More straightforward work is carried out by the Estates Supervisor, and more complex, specialised work, often requiring compliance certification, is undertaken by our contractors.

Job Responsibilities

Oversee the upkeep and cleaning of multiple properties across the Creative Folkestone portfolio, including placing orders for required materials.
Respond to maintenance tasks assigned to you, carrying out investigations, completing repairs where possible, and liaising with tenants to resolve issues.
Identifying and reporting any maintenance required, so that it can be triaged by the Tenant Liaison team.
Organise your own weekly schedule of tasks and coordinate work with the Creative Quarter Estates Operative, allocating time and resources appropriately.
Maintain and monitor a yearly calendar of planned, periodic, and seasonal maintenance tasks.
Carry out statutory and organisational safety checks and document property compliance data in conjunction with the Creative Quarter Estates Manager.
Assist with key management for Creative Folkestone properties, liaising with contractors where required.
