Facilities Support

WHO ARE WE?

The Rev. Bill Crews Foundation (‘BCF’) is a registered charity committed to supporting people experiencing homelessness, poverty and disadvantage.

Our mission is simple and guides everything we do: “The person in front of us.”

We deliver practical, human-centred support through food services, social welfare, health programs and education across multiple sites including Ashfield, Blacktown, Seven Hills and Summer Hill.

Behind the scenes, our Facilities team plays a critical role in ensuring our environments are safe, functional and welcoming for both our community and our staff.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on, fast-paced role supporting the coordination and delivery of facilities operations across multiple BCF sites.

As our Facilities Coordinator, you will work closely with the Facilities Team Leader to ensure our sites are safe, compliant, functional and well-presented. You’ll play a key role across maintenance, logistics, projects, events and volunteer coordination, helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

No two days look the same in this role. You’ll be on the ground, problem solving, coordinating works and supporting the broader organisation to deliver critical services to the community.

This is a full-time role (38 hours per week). Flexibility is essential, as the role includes weekends, after-hours work and support for major projects and events.

In this role, you will:

• Support day-to-day facilities operations across multiple sites

• Coordinate contractors, suppliers and service providers
• Support delivery of facilities projects, upgrades and refurbishments
• Assist with logistics including deliveries, equipment and site movement
• Support fleet upkeep and operational readiness
• Assist with event setup, pack down and site readiness
• Coordinate furniture, equipment and layout requirements for events
• Support and guide Facilities volunteers on site
• Maintain accurate records, documentation and systems
• Support compliance with Work Health and Safety (‘WHS’) requirements
• Carry out hands-on facilities support tasks to maintain safe, functional and well-presented sites

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You're a practical, proactive person who enjoys being hands-on and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly,

You'll also bring:

• Previous experience in facilities, maintenance, carpentry, logistics or another hands-on role
• Practical skills using hand and power tools and the ability to undertake general maintenance and handyman tasks
• The ability to learn quickly and adapt in a fast-paced environment
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• The ability to manage competing priorities across multiple sites
• Confidence communicating with contractors, suppliers, volunteers and colleagues
• Strong problem-solving skills and a reliable, solutions-focused approach
• Alignment with BCF's mission and values
• Flexibility to support weekends, after-hours work and events is essential
