NOW HIRING
Property & Facilities Coordinator - My Ohana
£35,000 – £38,000 | Multi-Site | Permanent, Full-Time

Are you a practical, people-first facilities professional who's as comfortable with a paintbrush or a pair of pruning shears as you are with a compliance spreadsheet?
We're a fast-growing nursery group, with a clear ambition to reach 30 sites in five years.
This is a brand-new, genuinely hands-on position. You'll be the person our nursery managers call when something needs fixing, and you'll often be the one who fixes it. You'll own compliance across the portfolio, coordinate our contractors, and keep our buildings and gardens looking their best.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Owning the compliance calendar — booking and tracking all statutory inspections (fire, gas, electrical, legionella and more) across every site
• Coordinating and maintaining Risk Assessments for all properties
• Managing O&M manuals and keeping all certificates, warranties, and service records in order
• Planning and booking all routine (PPM) and reactive maintenance — from boiler services to ad-hoc repairs
• Getting stuck in yourself — carrying out routine building maintenance tasks (painting, minor repairs, fixture replacement, basic plumbing) and grounds work (mowing, weeding, jet washing, clearing) personally where safe and within your capability
• Managing our grounds and cleaning contractors to complement your own contribution and cover specialist or large-scale work
• Running snagging processes on new and refurbished sites from handover to sign-off
• Travelling between sites regularly and being a visible, trusted presence for nursery managers
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Experience in a facilities, estates, or property coordination role — you know your way around a compliance schedule
• Practical maintenance skills — you're the kind of person who notices what needs doing and does it
• A natural communicator and relationship-builder — you can work with everyone from plumbers to the CEO
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail — nothing slips past you
• A self-starter comfortable owning your area and working independently across multiple sites
• Comfortable with technology — Microsoft Office and facilities systems hold no fear for you
• Full, clean UK driving licence — you'll be on the road regularly
• Willingness to undergo and clear an Enhanced DBS check (essential for working in a childcare environment)
• Good common sense about safe working limits — you know when to roll up your sleeves and when to call a specialist
WHAT WE OFFER

• Salary of £35,000 – £38,000 depending on experience
• Full participation in the My Ohana benefits package – company pension, wellbeing support, shopper discounts, online GP, 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Mileage allowance for business travel
• A pivotal role in a genuinely growing business - your footprint will grow with ours
• Real autonomy and ownership from day one
• A warm, people-first culture that values what you bring
IMPORTANT

This role requires an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check prior to commencement of employment. All offers are conditional upon satisfactory completion of this check, given that our sites are active childcare settings.
