Summary

Are you passionate about historic buildings, working with people and delivering excellent service? Come and join our brilliant team at Fairfield House.

We have an opportunity for a Facilities Manager to join our team, to ensure our facilities are presented to the highest standard and aligned with relevant Health & Safety, Environmental, Fire & Security standards. 


Fairfield House: What it's like to work here

Fairfield House Bath CIC is set up to preserve and celebrate Emperor Haile Selassie's unique legacy at Fairfield House: a personal gift to the city in appreciation of the warm welcome and hospitality he had received from the people of Bath. Although the building has had a variety of uses in the past, Fairfield House today is a diverse community hub and heritage attraction. The daily uses of the building by communities and visitors, including as a priority- the elderly, can vary greatly. 

Fairfield House also opens to visitors weekly and hosts a diverse array of events throughout the year. Working at Fairfield House is exciting and rewarding. You will feel the immediate impact of your work with our communities, visitors and supporters. 


What you'll be doing

You'll report to the Operations Manager and will be part of the Property Team. Over the next two years, Fairfield House Bath CIC will be undertaking a Heritage Fund backed project which will include transforming the heating system of the building. External specialists and contractors will be brought in as necessary and will be introduced to the facilities aspects of the property by the facilities manager. 


As part of the property team, you’ll be accountable for the running of all aspects of facilities management across the house and grounds of Fairfield House, including the monitoring of utilities, solving maintenance issues, fire safety, risk assessment and security arrangements: making sure we’re safe and compliant.


In addition to a busy calendar of events to prepare for, including opening for the general public, there are also wider stakeholders such as community business users on site, neighbours and wider organisations, you'll maintain constructive relationships with everyone. 


As an important staff member at Fairfield House, you'll manage our support services, and act as a Duty Manager on rota. You may also lead morning briefings on event days for the team who are made up of staff and volunteers. You will have oversight of planned projects in the house and grounds of Fairfield House and coordinate professionals and volunteers in these activities. You'll be a main contact for any significant issues beyond individual departments, and the property-wide emergency contact who will coordinate responses with the Fairfield House CIC, site staff and other stakeholders. 

This role is incredibly varied and there are many areas for continued professional development, depending on the needs of the place, planned projects and the interests of the individual in the role.
