Job Description

Public Sector People are partnering with a large, values-led organisation to appoint a Manager, Property and Housing within its property and assets function.

n

Reporting to a senior property leader, this position will oversee housing and real estate operations across a diverse portfolio encompassing community housing, residential property and retirement living.

n

The organisation is reviewing how its wider property function operates, with work underway to strengthen its strategy and create clearer responsibilities across property operations, facilities and asset management. This creates a genuine opportunity for the incoming Manager to help shape the future direction of the function.

The opportunity n

You will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for property and tenancy management, retirement living coordination and independent living unit sales.

n

The role combines people leadership with hands-on operational oversight. You will bring greater consistency to the function, strengthen processes and reporting, and ensure the team delivers a reliable and responsive service.

n

n
- Leading, coaching and supporting a multidisciplinary property team

n
- Supporting internal stakeholders with leasing, occupancy, sales and property matters

This is an operational leadership position rather than a capital works role. It will suit someone who enjoys leading people, creating structure and working across several connected areas of housing and property.

About you n

n

You do not need to have worked across every part of the portfolio. However, you will need the leadership capability, judgement and adaptability to manage a broad remit within a regulated and service-focused organisation.

You will ideally offer:

n

n
- Experience leading and developing a property or housing team
n
- Robust knowledge of residential property or tenancy management

- Exposure to community housing, social housing or retirement living
