Assistant Estates Manager
Salary: £35,000 per annum
Contract: 12-month temporary position
Hours: 35 per week
Location: Multi-site (London)

A leading charity is seeking an Assistant Estates Manager to help create safe, welcoming, and well-run spaces for the communities it supports. If you enjoy variety, problem-solving, and being the go-to person who keeps things running smoothly, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a meaningful estate’s role. You will work closely with an experienced Estates Manager, gaining exposure to a wide range of facilities, compliance, and project work ideal for someone looking to grow their estates career in a supportive, purpose-driven environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Overseeing day-to-day building operations across several sites.
• Coordinating planned and reactive maintenance to keep services running smoothly.
• Carrying out regular inspections and spotting opportunities for improvement.
• Keeping estate records, compliance logs, and asset information up to date.
• Supporting health and safety compliance across fire, water, electrical, gas, lifts and more.
• Assisting with risk assessments, incident follow-ups, and emergency procedures.
• Managing contractors and ensuring they deliver high-quality work.
• Helping with refurbishments, fit-outs, space planning, and sustainability projects.
• Supporting budgets, invoices, and reporting for senior leaders.

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience in estates or facilities management, ideally across multiple sites.
• Good understanding of hard and soft FM services.
• Confidence managing contractors and monitoring performance.
• Knowledge of statutory compliance and building regulations.
• Experience supporting refurbishments, moves, or space changes.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.

Bonus Skills (Not Essential):

• Experience in charity, education, or safeguarding environments.
• Budget or service charge experience.
• Familiarity with CAFM systems.
• First Aid or additional FM-related training.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• You will be part of an organisation that genuinely changes lives.
• Every day is different, from inspections to projects to problem-solving.
• You will gain hands-on experience across a wide estate portfolio.
• Supportive team, meaningful work, and a competitive salary.
• A great stepping stone for someone looking to progress in estates management.
