The Assistant Workplace and Facilities Manager is a key role within our Facilities team. The team provide safe, welcoming workplaces for all of our London based employees – including our head office – with a strong focus on employee wellbeing, social connection and inclusion.

The Assistant Workplace and Facilities Manager is based in our head office in Mayfair, with a day each week spent in our Belgravia office.
