The Team

Our Facilities Services team are one of the many teams that keep our business running smoothly. A key cog to the Bristol office the team ensures we have a great office environment to work in and all the facilities we need to be successful.  Working in a team you'll work closely to provide crucial support to the whole office.

What will you be doing?

The facilities assistant role is a busy one and requires someone who is resourceful and organised.  Being a law firm we generate a lot of documents so you'll be required to deal with internal post room requests as well as external providers of postal and logistics services.  The role will involve processing all mail (incoming and outgoing), reprographics as well as printing emails and other large documents.

You'll be working closely with our other internal teams ensuring the office runs smoothly which includes our catering team, reception, building maintenance and operational support. You'll also assist the Facilities Supervisor with general duties and work with the Guest Services team in preparing for any event and functions.

There is an opportunity for this role to be an Apprenticeship undertaking the Facilities Services Apprenticeship Level 2 subject to eligibility. As an apprentice in this team you'll enjoy a wide variety of tasks, working closely with more experienced facilities professionals, who will be only too happy to mentor and guide you through your formal qualification.  You'll be given all the time and support you need to study towards your level 2 apprenticeship. ! You'll initially start within our postroom which will give you a fantastic grounding in to our business and an understanding of how we operate, and could be a springboard into a number of exciting opportunities in the future.

What experience do I need?

Ideally, you'll have previous office based experience. You'll need to be able to multi-task but still maintain attention to detail whilst having the ability to work to deadlines.  You'll be able to build and maintain natural relationships, have excellent communication skills both written
and verbal and previous experience using IT packages including Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who love working as part of a team; this is a really social role interacting with lots of different people – this is where your great customer services skills come in.

So what makes it so great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits!  We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that become lasting friendships.  In addition, through our D&I practices and programmes we work hard to ensure that difference is visibly valued and welcomed.
