This is an exciting new leadership role within User Voice’s London team, responsible for delivering two major programmes at the intersection of Health Justice and forensic mental health services.

1. Your lived experience of the criminal justice system, how it informs your work at all levels & why you want this job.

2. Your project management experience (minimum two years).

Are you a facilities professional who wants their work to genuinely matter? This is your chance to be the backbone of one of London's most impactful youth organisations — where the building you manage is the foundation for changing young lives.

Fight for Peace is looking for an exceptional Facilities Manager to take full ownership of our Academy in Royal Docks, East London — a vibrant, purpose-built space where young people aged 7–25 come to box, train, learn, and grow.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk raising purchase orders. As our Facilities Manager, you'll be the person who makes the Academy hum, from keeping us legally compliant and structurally sound to leading capital projects, managing a network of contractors, and making sure every corner of the building reflects the ambition and energy of the community it serves.

You'll have real ownership. You'll have a say in the facilities budget, shape the annual maintenance plan, and play an active role in our team. When something needs doing, you'll have the authority and the trust to get it done.

What you'll be leading:

The Academy is a busy, multi-use space — and no two days are the same. You'll oversee everything from day-to-day maintenance and statutory compliance to major refurbishment projects (including an ongoing changing rooms development). You'll manage our cleaning team, oversee IT infrastructure, run our room hire offer, and work with the income generation team to grow commercial use of the space. Health and safety sits at the heart of this role — you'll be our lead on fire safety, EICR, legionella, asbestos, and everything in between, maintaining a compliance register that is always audit-ready.

Safeguarding is central to how we operate. You'll ensure the physical environment supports a safe and welcoming space for young people, and that every contractor who steps through our doors is properly vetted.

What we're looking for:

You'll bring solid, hands-on experience in facilities, estates, or building management — ideally in a community, education, or sports setting. You'll know your way around a PPM schedule, a compliance register, and a contractor negotiation. You'll be organised, dependable, and the kind of person who spots a problem before it becomes one.

Just as importantly, you'll believe in what we do. Fight for Peace was founded on the idea that every young person regardless of their background deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. The Facilities Manager plays a direct role in making that possible every single day.

The details:

• Salary: £37,000 – £40,000
• Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Saturday
• Location: Fight for Peace Academy, Woodman Street, London E16 2LS

A NEBOSH or IOSH qualification is desirable but not essential, we're more interested in what you've done than what's on paper. An enhanced DBS check will be required prior to appointment.

Fight for Peace is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.
