ROLE DESCRIPTION
37.5 hours per week (across 5 days between Monday and Saturday)
Salary: £37-40K depending on experience
Reports to: Head of Academy
Location: Fight for Peace Academy. Woodman Street. London
Application deadline: 25th April 2026 at 12:00
Purpose of role:
Fight for Peace is a global organisation that uses sport and martial arts combined with education, employability training, and personal development to address violence and support the development of young people aged 7–25 in communities affected by crime and social inequality. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Facilities Manager is a critical role in making that possible. The postholder is responsible for ensuring that the Fight for Peace Academy is safe, secure, clean, comfortable, on brand, and functioning optimally at all times — providing a physical environment in which young people, staff, and the wider community can thrive. This includes leading on all health and safety requirements, overseeing maintenance and refurbishment projects (including major capital works), managing a wide portfolio of contractors and service providers, and championing a culture of excellence in how the Academy space is cared for.
The role also supports Fight for Peace’s mission by leveraging the facilities to generate income, raise the organisation’s profile, create opportunities for young people, and build strong relationships with the community and other stakeholders.
As a full-time role working across Monday to Saturday, the postholder will provide consistent, visible leadership of the Academy’s facilities function. This includes some Saturday presence to support events, external hire, and weekend programme delivery. The Facilities Manager works closely with the Head of Academy and the senior leadership team, and plays an active role in the Academy’s management culture, operational planning, and organisational compliance.

The Use of AI
We understand the benefits of using AI in work. However, if you are thinking of using AI to support your application, we ask you to think carefully about what value it adds. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. Therefore, we encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.
OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUALITY, INCLUSIVENESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Fight for Peace is committed to safeguarding the welfare of the children, young people and adults at risk that the organisation works with. We are committed to equality and inclusive practice. Fight for Peace actively promotes equality of opportunity for all and welcomes applications from a wide range of prospective employees and participants, including those with relevant lived experience, a history of offending or with criminal records.
Fight for Peace will only ask an individual to provide details of sensitive information, including convictions and cautions, that it is legally entitled to know about. Most of our staff and volunteers will be in Positions of Trust and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check must be completed by anyone who meets the government’s definition of ‘Regulated Activity’ or ‘Regular Activity’ within our activities and services. We do not want this to be a barrier to those who have the potential to add great value to the work we do.
All information disclosed for the purposes of employment will be used for the sole purpose of assessing whether an individual is suitable and appropriate to work with our members and/or if any specific arrangements around supervision and support might be required. All information gathered as part of our recruitment processes will be treated sensitively and equitably, with confidentiality strictly maintained.
Right to work in the UK essential for the duration of the contract and visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
