Role Purpose & Context

Role Summary

The Workplace Experience Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day operational support that keeps our office a pleasant and productive place. You'll be the go-to person for all sorts of requests, making sure meeting rooms are set up, supplies are stocked, and any little hiccups in the building get sorted quickly. This role sits right at the heart of our Realestate Facilities Management team, acting as the first line of support for our employees and ensuring our physical space genuinely supports their work. When you do this job well, people barely notice you're there because everything just works. The office feels effortless, and employees can focus on their jobs without distractions. If things aren't running smoothly, though, it can quickly become a source of frustration, impacting productivity and overall morale. The challenge here is juggling many small, urgent tasks while still keeping an eye on the bigger picture of office comfort. The reward? Seeing people genuinely happy and productive because you've made their day a little bit easier.

Primary Traits

Supporting Traits

Primary Motivators

  1. Motivator: Making People's Day Easier
  2. Daily: You get a real kick out of solving someone's problem, no matter how small. Seeing a colleague smile because you fixed their chair or found them a quiet meeting room is genuinely rewarding for you.

Potential Demotivators

Honestly, this role isn't for you if you need constant strategic challenges or get easily frustrated by repetitive tasks. You'll spend a fair bit of time on what some might call 'admin' or 'housekeeping'. If you need to see every piece of your work lead to a big, visible project, you might struggle here. The reality is, much of your work is about preventing problems, which often goes unnoticed when successful.

Common Frustrations

  1. Dealing with trivial complaints ('someone stole my yogurt from the fridge').
  2. Repetitive tasks that feel a bit like 'groundhog day' (e.g., restocking the same items daily).
  3. Being asked to do things 'off-system' (e.g., via a quick chat instead of a ticket), which messes up tracking.
  4. When things break, and you're the first to hear about it, but you have to wait for a vendor to fix it.
  5. The 'Magic Wand' expectation: people want things fixed instantly, even if it's a complex issue.

What Role Doesn't Offer

  1. High-level strategic planning or budget ownership (that comes later).
  2. A quiet, solitary work environment; you'll be interacting with people constantly.
  3. Predictable, 'set-it-and-forget-it' tasks; there's always something new popping up.
  4. Immediate, dramatic career progression; this is a foundational role.

ADHD Positives

  1. The varied nature of tasks and constant interaction can be really engaging and prevent boredom. You'll often be moving around, which can help with focus and energy.
  2. The immediate feedback loop of solving a problem for someone can be very motivating and satisfying.
  3. The need to quickly switch between different types of requests means you won't be stuck on one thing for too long.

ADHD Challenges and Accommodations

  1. The constant interruptions and ad-hoc requests might make it tricky to focus on longer administrative tasks. We can help with noise-cancelling headphones or dedicated 'focus time' slots.
  2. Keeping track of multiple small requests can be overwhelming. We use a ticketing system (ServiceNow) to keep everything organised, and your manager will help you prioritise.
  3. Repetitive tasks, like daily stocking, might feel monotonous. We can explore ways to gamify these or rotate tasks with other team members if possible.

Dyslexia Positives

  1. This role is very hands-on and relies heavily on practical problem-solving and face-to-face communication, rather than extensive written reports.
  2. Strong visual-spatial skills can be a real asset when setting up rooms, managing layouts, or spotting potential issues in the physical space.
  3. The ability to think creatively about solutions to unexpected problems is highly valued.

Dyslexia Challenges and Accommodations

  1. There will be some documentation and email communication. We use tools with good spell-check and grammar features, and your manager can proofread important messages.
  2. Following multi-step written instructions might be tricky. We can provide instructions in visual formats (diagrams, videos) or break them down into smaller, clearer steps.
  3. Reading long vendor contracts or policy documents could be challenging. We can summarise key points verbally or use text-to-speech software.

Autism Positives

  1. The role often involves following clear processes and checklists, which can be very reassuring and effective.
  2. A strong attention to detail, particularly in spotting discrepancies or ensuring things are 'just right', is a huge advantage in facilities management.
  3. The ability to focus intently on a task until it's perfectly completed can lead to excellent service delivery.

Autism Challenges and Accommodations

  1. Unexpected changes to routines or last-minute urgent requests can be unsettling. We try to minimise these, but when they happen, your manager will provide clear, direct communication.
  2. The constant social interaction and unpredictable nature of employee requests might be draining. We can schedule 'quiet time' for administrative tasks or provide a designated quiet space if needed.
  3. Interpreting nuanced social cues might be challenging. We encourage direct, clear communication from everyone, and your manager will be a point of contact for any misunderstandings.

Sensory Considerations

Our office environment is typically a busy, open-plan space with varying noise levels, especially around lunchtimes or during events. There'll be natural light and standard office lighting. Social interaction is frequent and expected. We can discuss specific needs, like quieter work areas for focused tasks or noise-cancelling headphones.

Flexibility Notes

We're open to discussing reasonable adjustments to make this role work for you. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Key Responsibilities

Experience Levels Responsibilities

  1. Level: Entry Level (0-2 years)
  2. Responsibilities: Respond to incoming service requests through our ticketing system (ServiceNow), typically for things like desk adjustments, temperature queries, or lost property. You'll aim to close 90% of these within 4 hours.
  3. Set up and reset meeting rooms daily, making sure the tech works, chairs are tidy, and whiteboards are clean. This means following a clear checklist, and you'll probably do this 2-3 times a day for various rooms.
  4. Manage office supplies, which means restocking kitchens (coffee, milk, snacks) and stationery cupboards. You'll keep an eye on stock levels and flag to your manager when we need to order more.
  5. Assist with new employee onboarding from a facilities perspective, helping them find their desk, explaining how the booking system works, and issuing their access card. It's about making their first day smooth.
  6. Conduct daily 'walk-arounds' of the office, spotting any issues like messy areas, broken equipment, or potential safety hazards. You'll either fix them on the spot or log them in the system for someone else to sort.
  7. Support office events, from small internal meetings to larger company gatherings. This might involve moving furniture, setting up catering, or making sure AV equipment is ready. You'll work from a detailed plan.
  8. Help manage incoming and outgoing mail and deliveries, making sure packages get to the right people and post goes out on time. Yes, it's basic, but crucial for keeping things moving.
  9. Supervision: You'll have daily check-ins with your Workplace Experience Manager. All your tasks will be clearly assigned, and your work will be reviewed regularly. Think of it as having a safety net while you learn the ropes.
  10. Decision: No independent decisions on anything outside of pre-defined procedures. You'll escalate anything unusual or outside your standard tasks to your manager. For example, if a vendor suggests a change, you'll pass that straight up.
  11. Success: You're successful if service requests are handled quickly and accurately, employees are happy with the basic office environment, and you consistently follow all established procedures. Essentially, you're making the office run like clockwork, even if it's behind the scenes.
