ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies? 

Do you have proven experience in the delivery of a professional Facilities Management service?

Do you have Technical expertise in office maintenance and manual handling?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

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 play a central role in ensuring visitors are supported with the information, logistics and practical help they need to have a safe and productive stay, and you’ll help keep internal communications flowing by sharing relevant updates around the office.

You’ll also take real ownership of the office environment along side your Job-Share co-worker, working to service levels and agreed processes, listening to feedback, and continuously improving the service we provide. You’ll ensure facilities equipment is secure, maintained and compliant, including items requiring legal checks such as PAT testing, and you’ll maintain accurate asset information. You’ll be a main contact with cleaning services to set clear standards and monitor cleanliness, waste disposal, recycling and supplies, and you’ll organise confidential waste and recycling in line with best practice. From managing deliveries and ensuring the right equipment is in place for moving items safely, to attending the premises out of hours if needed for urgent repairs, you’ll help ensure staff can work confidently and safely. Security and safe working are central to this role. 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. You’ll also support the Facilities and Security Manager with information gathering for renewals such as travel and office insurance, and coordinate with our London facilities team where travel and accommodation bookings are required.

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.
