The Hub at Foulston Park

Details

Foulston Park is a multi-partner sport, community and wellbeing site in the heart of Devonport. Within this site, Argyle Community Trust operates a range of dedicated community facilities, including The Hub building and associated indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Hub is the Trust’s central community building at Foulston Park, providing flexible spaces for community activity, health and wellbeing services, and organisational delivery. Alongside this, the Trust is responsible for a wider range of external and supporting facilities across Foulston Park, including community pitches, an athletics track, a PlayZone, the PrepZone changing facilities, and associated communal areas such as car parks, access routes and public realm spaces within its remit.

Foulston Park as a whole also includes facilities operated independently by Plymouth Argyle Football Club and Plymouth Albion Rugby Club, requiring close coordination across the site.

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Facilities Manager to take ownership of the buildings, infrastructure and environment across the Argyle Community Trust-managed facilities at Foulston Park, while providing strategic oversight and expert guidance to our wider sites in Manadon and Sherford. This is a senior role within the Hub’s Senior Management Team, responsible for ensuring that all Trust facilities are safe, compliant, well-maintained and fit for purpose.

You will lead on all aspects of estates and facilities management, including planned and reactive maintenance, health and safety compliance, contractor management and site presentation. Working closely with senior leaders, you will play a key role in ensuring the long-term sustainability, effectiveness and development of the Trust’s facilities.

The role also supports the wider operational and commercial success of the Hub and Trust activities by ensuring facilities are high-quality, reliable and aligned with user and partner needs, including the management of long-term occupiers within Trust-managed spaces.

This is not a shift-based role; however, you will act as the first point of contact for facilities-related issues, including alarms and urgent maintenance, through an on-call arrangement. In exceptional circumstances, you may be required to provide operational or shift cover to support business continuity.

If you can meet the specifications and would like to become part of the Argyle Community Trust team, please complete our online application form.

You will be given the opportunity to upload a covering letter and CV should you wish to do so however, for safer recruitment purposes, we do not accept application by CV only.
