Sarah Blake

Workplace Facilities Coordinator @UCAS

Cheltenham, GB

In my role as Workplace/Facilities Coordinator I am responsible for the large multi story Cheltenham office and our offices in London. I ensure they run smoothly and effectively to ensure employees have everything they need to enable them to meet their goals. This is achieved by managing and maintaining the day-to-day operations of the workplace environment and facilities - including the overseeing of the external catering and cleaning contracts. One area of my role is to ensure collaboration between teams and that the company culture is imbedded in the workplace. To enable this I manage internal signage and communications of staff events and workplace initiatives. I organise a program of regular book clubs, staff quizzes, sporting competitions and other fun activities, as well as being a workplace wellbeing champion. My role also ensures that the office or workplace is safe, efficient, and well-maintained, providing a productive environment for employees and visitors. I work closely with contractors, service providers, and internal teams to address facilities needs, coordinate maintenance, and manage office resources. By completing daily office walk-arounds, internal audits, creating and reviewing risk assessments I ensure the office is a safe place for all.
