The maintenance man has been made redundant and Mick is reduced to three days a week and will only be responsible for overseeing matchday and related issues, not the stadium, so I guess that's how it's funded. We've had a facilities manager before and it's not a senior post, i.e. it will report to Steve Bradshaw.
Hope that the reduction in Mick's hours are at his instigation....

I wouldn't bank on it.
I don't know, but this was always a likely outcome from Bradshaw's position being created, as I said at the time. There was too much overlap between the job spec and the existing post.
I don't see what a facilities manager would do that the bloke already there does. It stinks of a job for the boys turn out. Of that I am pretty certain.
for all we know, a Facilities Manager, a 'responsible, named person', could be a requirement under Health and Safety legislation or for insurance purposes.
and the successful candidate is............................
A director's friend/son/sister / nephew/ neighbour - or combination of these......... etc etc etc.
Of course. Previous boards have never created a position such as a FM with some of the criteria you mention. Just a shame there wasn't a book running at that time as a lot of (now former) employees would've cleaned up.

You are spot on, add another 2 or 3 employees to the FM to do the tasks the current maintenance manager undertakes and then work out the costings. For a club with limited funds they are about to have even less, I feel it is someone trying to make a name for themselves by the way of change and at the expense of the club.

Are you sure those two people are happy with you telling the world about private aspects of their lives?

I don't think the distribution of senior management roles in a business as public as Charlton can be said to be private life - indeed the thread is about that because a post that impacts has been advertised. In fact there is more I could say by way of explanation, but that would cross the line in my opinion.
There is also some irony in the question, given the extensive debate - much of it wholly erroneous - about the circumstances of my departure from Charlton on here. Hopefully I will be in a position to set that record straight before long.
I would think a H&S qualification would be high on the list of requirements of a Facilities Manager, as would a good knowledge of various legal requirements that are the responsibility of the Facilities Manager, it is a pretty essential part of a lot of business's, but then I would say that as it's what I do!
I've been looking to start a career as a martial-arts based crimebuster. This role may be ideal cover as long as I can maintain a mild-mannered disposition, which should be possible now my medication has been increased.
I'm also looking for a cat-based sidekick who may have to do a lot of the actual crimebusting, if anyone knows of one.

The maintenance man is senior management? Really? How many people knew about the reduction in Mick's hours before you made it public?
I have worked there carrying out maintenance both planned and reactive. The bloke at the helm at the moment is doing a sterling job without the finances that are required. There is a lot of equipment held together from the day the new valley opened. Is there a business sponsoring Charlton that want a piece of the action?
Ditto what Robbo on the wing says, my company has been working at The Valley for years and some of the kit we maintain is on its knees but lack of money means they will not repair/replace it.
The guy they have laid off was doing the best he could with limited funds, the new person who is going to replace him is in for a shock.
So I'm assuming by Robbo's subtle inference that Andrews want to take a bit of control eh?
Not the way I read it but Robbo is being rather obtuse, (no offence).
I agree with him that the maintenance man who has been made redundant was a very long server and hard working servant to the Club having to make do, as is the case with the other stadium and grounds staff, with old equipment and minimal investment.
Good luck to him and to whoever gets the FM job. The job may not quite be what it said on the tin.

With respect I doubt if there are many people on here who don't work or haven't worked at the club or been a director and could tell you who this person is. I haven't named him/her and it's hardly a massive invasion of privacy if people don't even know the person's name.
As for Mick, he and I go back a very long way. But do you think the club could really keep secret that his public-facing responsibilities had changed?

Best not answer the phone or open any e-mails in the next few weeks then.
John the maintenance manager left yesterday and soon will start work in the same role at a Premiership club, ironically the people responsible for his redundancy only made the Championship.

The Heads of Security
The Cleaning Manager
Chief Engineer
Catering Manager
Front of House manager
all report to the ----------------------Facilities Manager.
or they have a broad portfolio mine is over 600 buildings.
@ the £20k salary range its really an "office manager"

Certainly not Andrews
I wish him well.
