The Opportunity

We have partnered with a vibrant creative workspace in Bristol to recruit a Building Manager / Site Lead who will become the heart of the building’s day-to-day life.

This workspace is home to a diverse mix of artists, makers, and independent businesses, and it prides itself on being more than just a place to work.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently and taking real ownership of a role. The successful candidate will be trusted to run the site day-to-day, shaping how it operates and ensuring it remains a welcoming, well-run space for the creative businesses that call it home.

The role combines front-of-house presence, facilities coordination, and administrative organisation, making it ideal for someone who enjoys variety and wants a position they can truly make their own.

A Role You Can Own

This position offers genuine autonomy and responsibility. Rather than following a rigid structure, the successful candidate will have the freedom to create efficient systems, improve processes, and build a role that supports the entire community within the building.

The Site Lead becomes the anchor of the workspace, the trusted, approachable person who ensures everything runs smoothly and that members feel supported day to day.

This opportunity would particularly suit someone who:

* Enjoys working independently and managing their own priorities

* Wants a role they can shape and develop

* Takes pride in being the person who holds everything together

* Enjoys being part of a creative and community-driven environment

Candidates from front-of-house, hospitality, venue management, facilities coordination, or event management backgrounds may find their skills translate particularly well into this position, especially those with an interest in the arts and creative industries.

What the Work Looks Like:

The role blends people interaction, organisation, and practical oversight of the building.

* Act as the friendly, professional face of the building

* Welcome visitors and conduct viewings for prospective members

* Build positive relationships with the creative businesses based onsite

* Help maintain a welcoming and respectful community atmosphere

* Optionally support small community events or informal gatherings

* Spot issues early and coordinate contractors when needed

* Handle small practical tasks where appropriate

* Coordinate cleaners and general building maintenance

* Maintain simple admin trackers and compliance records

* Support basic invoicing and administrative tasks (training provided)

* Help keep communication flowing between members, contractors, and management

Who This Role Would Suit

Strong applicants will have character and mindset first and be able to demonstrate the following:

Comfort at managing their own workload and creating efficient ways of working.
Ability to manage unexpected situations or requests with professionalism and good judgement.
Able to build rapport with members and visitors while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

Opportunities like this are rare. It’s a role that sits at the centre of a creative community, combining people, organisation, and environment. For the right person, it offers the chance to shape how the workspace runs and become an essential part of its success
