Job description

Who we are

VIVO provides facilities management and accommodation maintenance for the UK military and its partners. VIVO embodies both experience and innovation.

What we do

We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.

Contract Type: Permanent, Full-Time
Location: Larkhill, SP4 8NR, 100% Office Based
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm (40 hours per week)
Salary: £24,000 - £27,000 per annum

About the Role

In this role, you will take ownership of managing data, collating repair reports, and compiling information to support the delivery of small works projects. You will manage the team's inbound email inbox, distributing work enquiries from Pinnacle to the appropriate Small Works Manager and ensuring information is captured accurately and efficiently. You will also be the first point of contact for military families, communicating professionally over the phone to gather details and provide updates. Working directly with Tier 1 contractors, you will ensure clear communication and timely progress on all projects.

You will work closely within a small team of three, whilst also working with the wider team across the SW and SE. You will be managing your own workload and priorities. The role is entirely office based, Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with occasional travel required across the Southeast and Southwest for meetings or training.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be confident, professional, and well‑organised, with the ability to work independently and use their initiative. You will have excellent data management and reporting skills, with a strong command of Microsoft Excel to collate, analyse, and present information clearly.

You should possess outstanding communication skills, both written and verbal, with a professional and approachable manner when dealing with clients, contractors, and military families. Attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to prioritise tasks in a busy environment are essential.

You should be proficient in all Microsoft Office packages. Experience using Maximo applications would be advantageous, as would previous experience in a facilities, maintenance, or project coordination environment.

The ability to obtain and maintain BPSS clearance is required.

This site is not accessible by public transport, so it is highly advantageous that you have a full UK drivers license.

If you are an organised and confident administrator who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys building professional relationships, we would love to hear from you. Apply today to join VIVO and make a real difference in supporting the delivery of essential works across the Defence estate.

We offer;

• Up to 6% contributory pension scheme
• 25 Days annual leave

• One paid professional subscription
• Life Assurance Policy
