We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Property Manager to help lead the delivery of high-quality homes and services across our housing portfolio. Working closely with the Head of Property, you’ll oversee the effective management of repairs and maintenance, contractor relationships, and property compliance, ensuring the safety, comfort, and satisfaction of our tenants.
This is a key leadership role, supporting the organisation’s wider strategic objectives. You’ll manage planned and cyclical works, lead the response to repairs, support void and adaptation processes, and ensure compliance across a range of critical areas, including gas safety, electrical testing, legionella, and building standards.
A strong understanding of property and asset management in a housing context is essential, along with the ability to lead teams, manage budgets, and communicate effectively with contractors, colleagues, and tenants. Your work will help us deliver safe, sustainable, and energy-efficient homes, while also driving continuous improvement in service delivery and customer care.

Oversee contractors, budgets & performance targets
Support Net Zero & sustainability goals
Ensure excellent customer service
What you’ll need:

Experience in housing or property management
Knowledge of compliance & building regulations
Strong leadership, planning & communication skills
Full UK driving licence
Join us and help make a lasting difference in our communities by delivering safe, sustainable homes and excellent property services.
Our employee benefits
Company sick pay scheme on completion of probationary period
34 days’ holiday per annum, pro rata for part-time hours
Access to Health and Wellbeing resources such as, 24 hour GP service, physiotherapy, 24/7 Employee Assistance Program and in-house Mental Health First Aiders
Opportunity to participate in internal support networks such as employee engagement, wellbeing and digital forums
Company pension scheme and other benefits such as Death in Service
