  • Job Title: Area Manager – London
    Salary: £36,000 to £38,000 per annum
    Hours: 40 hours per week, 5 out of 7 days (flexibility required)

    About the Role

    As an Area Manager, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of services across a cluster of sites within the London region. Reporting to the Regional Manager, you’ll oversee a team of supervisors and frontline staff, ensuring consistent service delivery, compliance, and client satisfaction.

    This is a varied role where no two days are the same – from coaching and developing teams, to carrying out audits, managing staffing levels, and building strong client relationships. You’ll balance hands-on operational support with a strategic eye on performance, budgets, and quality standards.

    Key responsibilities include:

    • Leading and motivating site teams to deliver excellent service.

    • Recruiting, inducting, and training staff in line with company procedures.

    • Monitoring KPIs, audits, and compliance to maintain contract standards.

    • Managing rota cover, performance, and absence.

    • Meeting and exceeding client expectations through regular contact and service reviews.

    • Ensuring products, equipment, and documentation are properly managed.

    • Upholding Atlas values, ensuring staff present professionally and follow site rules.


  • About You

  • We’re looking for a confident and people-focused leader who thrives in a fast-paced, service-driven environment. You’ll be proactive, organised, and able to balance the detail of operations with the bigger picture of client satisfaction and business performance.

    You’ll need to demonstrate:

    • Experience managing multiple sites or large teams, ideally within facilities management, hospitality, or similar.

    • Strong leadership and coaching skills to support supervisors and frontline staff.

    • Good organisational ability to coordinate staffing, training, and equipment.

    • Confidence in managing performance, absence, and rota planning.

    • Familiarity with audits, KPIs, and quality frameworks.

    • A client-first approach with strong communication skills.

    If this sounds like the role for you, we’d love to hear from you!

    Who are we? 

    Atlas is a family of people drawn together by a passion for creating happiness in others  

    Founded in 1986 and 100% owned by our employees, we are now one of the fastest-growing business support companies in the UK, providing cleaning, security, pest and other support services to a wide range of companies, from globally recognised brands to small local businesses. Our success is down to one thing; the passion and commitment of our extended family, who together we deliver happiness across thousands of client sites every single day. To ensure we remain focused on our purpose as we grow, we recruit first and foremost on our values so for those committed to living them alongside us, there is no better place to work  

      

    Our Purpose 

    To create happiness in ourselves and others  

    We approach work and life with a sense of fun, optimism and belief, and strive to have a positive impact on the world around us. We show kindness and compassion to all those we meet, ensuring everyone is safe and healthy. We deliver on our promises and go the extra mile every day.  

    Our Values. 

    We are a family  

    Just like any other family, we laugh, cry, celebrate and commiserate together. We may come from many different backgrounds, but we’re always there when it really matters. Whether it’s with practical help and support, or simply a mug of tea and a shoulder to cry on.  

    Sharing makes us stronger  

    Knowledge is more powerful when its shared. Which is why we share everything - our ideas, our expertise, our news and most-of-all our time. Show humility. Share and work together, and anything is possible.  

    Own your space  

    You are Atlas. Don’t be afraid to make decisions. Use your time wisely and treat every pound as if it was coming from your own pocket.  

    Be honest. Always.  

    Have the courage to do the right thing, even when no-one is watching. Whether it’s owning up to a mistake, having a difficult conversation, or simply arguing a point you feel passionate about. Be yourself. Authenticity breeds trust. Trust brings happiness.  

    Treat clients like our best friends  

    If we’re a family, then our clients are our best friends. Friends who you can be completely open and honest with, because they trust you to put their interests first. We take the time to listen to what’s going on in our clients lives and pull out all the stops to make them feel happy.  

    Start with Wow  

    And never settle for less. Create time to focus on quality and prioritise long-term solutions over short-term fixes. Constantly seek opportunities to learn from others, and if something doesn’t make sense, shout. Always ask yourself if there is more we can do to bring happiness to those around us.  

    Don't just talk. Do.  

    We are a business that thrives on doing. The more we do, the more we succeed. Embrace change. Keep it simple. Keep meetings short. Plan just enough to succeed. And then get on with it.
