Aspire Jobs are delighted to be working in an exclusive partnership with our professional services' client, who are growing. Due to an internal move, they are now looking for a facilities assistant to join their growing operations team.
As a team they are organising and hosting more and more functions both internal and external and a large part of this role will be the organisation of said events. This includes setting up tables/chairs, liaising with outside suppliers for food and drinks from start to finish. This is NOT a "sat in front of a computer" type role but does need you to have computer skills including using word and excel. You will be responsible for ensuring that their client suite and meeting rooms are ready to be used at all times, making sure that they are clean and tidy. This will involve you making sure the kitchen area is also kept tidy. This is a real chance to make this facilities assistant role your own.
The role will also see you covering reception when needed, so you must look the part. A large part of this role will be communication both internally with staff at all levels (including partners and board directors) as well as external clients and suppliers, therefore you must be good with people with the ability to adjust your tone accordingly. You will also be flexible to undertake other roles as and when needed.
The facilities assistant role will give you the opportunity to get to know everyone within the business at 2 different sites in central Bournemouth.

- As required, greeting and accompanying clients / guests from reception up to their client suite or meeting rooms and providing refreshments

- When required, help the morning Receptionist open incoming post and distribute to pigeonholes
