Full job descriptionAbout the Role

We are in the process of acquiring a group of 8 care homes, based on 5 sites, across Hampshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. We are looking for an experienced, down-to-earth Group Facilities Lead to help us get these buildings organised, well-maintained, and fully compliant.
You will be based around the Petersfield area but you will be required to travel between all our sites to support local teams, perform safety and compliance audits, manage contractors, and keep our standards high across the board.
Location: Based around Petersfield in Hampshire and Regional (covering our Care Home portfolio across Hampshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire)


Job Opportunity

*Supporting On-Site Teams & Covering Absences: Act as the go-to person when a local home hits a facilities problem they can’t solve alone. Crucially, you will also step in to provide full, hands-on maintenance cover at the homes during staff absences or periods of high operational demand.


*Keeping Us Compliant: You will make sure every home is 100% up to date with its mandatory checks, including fire safety, fire doors, water hygiene (Legionella), gas and electric testing, emergency lighting, and LOLER. You will run regular group-wide audits to ensure the paperwork is flawless.


*Introducing Our New Maintenance Software: We currently do not have a digital facilities management system in place. You will be pivotal in introducing, rolling out, and running Centrim Life across all our homes at a later date, which includes training and supporting the local teams to use it effectively.


*Managing Contractors & Budgets: Deal directly with external contractors and suppliers. Your job is to ensure we are getting quality work and fair prices while adhering to procurement procedures. You’ll also support larger refurbishment and capital improvement projects when they arise.


Essential Skills

What We Are Looking For
*Experience: Around 5 years of solid, practical experience in Facilities Management. Experience working within care homes, healthcare sites, or hotels is a massive advantage.
*Compliance Knowledge: You need to know your way around UK health and safety laws, fire safety rules, and standard statutory/compliance building checks.
*Tech-Ready Mindset: Since you will be leading the future launch of our Centrim Life software, you need to be comfortable adopting new technology, setting up digital systems, and showing others how to use them with on-going support.
*On the Move: A full, clean UK driving license is essential, as you will be traveling regularly across our portfolio in Hampshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire.
*Personality: Direct, organised, and a good communicator. You need to be just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to cover a shift at a home as you are talking to contractors or reporting to a group director.
What We Offer
*Competitive salary (Based on Experience) £40,000 - £45,000 plus bonus depending upon experience
*A suitable van will be provided
*A supportive environment with a clear path to help shape this newly acquired portfolio
