Recruitment Tips

Write an accessible advert for facilities coordination

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Make the duties and practical requirements of facilities coordination clear to applicants.

Lead with two activities a new starter will do most weeks. For roles involving building access, maintenance and service requests, name the work and the team that supports it. Separate essential requirements from skills someone can learn after joining. Use examples of evidence candidates can draw from work, study or volunteering.

Make applying straightforward

Include site hours, emergency escalation and contractor access if relevant, along with a location and a contact or application route. Give candidates a clear list of what to send and when they can expect the next step. Read the advert from a phone before posting and check that the important details are easy to find.
