At ActionAid UK, we’re driven by a bold mission: a world where women and girls live free from violence and discrimination, and can claim their rights. We’re looking for a Facilities Officer to help create the kind of workplace environment that makes that mission possible every single day. If you love making things run smoothly, take pride in high standards, and want a role where your work directly supports people doing life-changing work, this could be the opportunity for you.

Based in our Chard office (with remote support links to our London team), you’ll be the person who keeps our office environment safe, welcoming, resilient and values-led. You’ll be a key point of contact for staff, visitors, suppliers and contractors, making sure our workplace is a  friendly and well-managed space. One day you might be coordinating engineers to resolve an urgent building issue, and the next you could be ensuring new starters feel confident about health and safety procedures, supporting office events, or helping colleagues with travel and accommodation arrangements.

This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll support the day-to-day rhythm of the office while also spotting opportunities to improve how we work. You’ll oversee reception and administration essentials, including managing outgoing mail efficiently and cost-effectively, keeping accurate cross-charging records, and maintaining effective systems for stationery, supplies and office consumables.

You’ll support building access control, assist with fire and building safety procedures, promote safe working practices, and work alongside security colleagues to support safe travel for staff.

We’re looking for someone who brings proven experience delivering a professional facilities management service in a similar environment, with a strong customer service mindset and the confidence to build a positive service culture around them. You’ll have practical technical knowledge of office maintenance, repairs and improvements, and you’ll be comfortable managing supplier relationships, raising orders, and handling associated financial processes. You’ll be organised, calm under pressure, and able to juggle immediate daily needs alongside longer-term projects. You’ll also be someone who can identify risks early and take sensible action to reduce them.

Experience as a First Aider and/or Fire Warden, and experience of manual handling are important for this role, and it’s a bonus if you’ve worked with asset management, in the charity sector, or in office environments aligned to health and safety standards such as IOSH. Most importantly, you’ll share our values and bring a genuine commitment to feminist principles, safeguarding, and creating an inclusive workplace where women and girls’ rights are at the centre of what we do.
