Shape Your Career Around Your Life – Residential Valuation Surveyor (MRICS) in Cambridge

We are looking for a Residential Valuation Surveyor to join our Professional Valuation Team at the Firm’s Head Office in Cambridge. If you’re an MRICS-qualified Residential Valuation Surveyor looking for a role that gives you autonomy, flexibility, and meaningful work, without sacrificing career progression, this could be your next move. We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working (from 15 hours), up to full-time working, or other flexible-working arrangements.

About Us

Established in 1825, we are a privately owned, independent partnership with deep roots in Cambridgeshire. From our beginnings as cattle auctioneers to today’s six regional offices, we provide trusted advice across residential property, land, farms, fine art, machinery and specialist assets. Our reputation is built on expertise, integrity, and long-standing client relationships, and our Professional Valuation Team plays a central role in that success.

Why This Role Stands Out

• True Flexibility – Build a working pattern that fits around your life, not the other way around.
• Autonomy & Trust – Manage your own caseload with the freedom to deliver at your best.
• Heritage Meets Innovation – Nearly 200 years established, yet forward-thinking and ambitious.
• Clear Progression – We invest in professional growth and support further development.
• Competitive Package – Excellent salary and benefits tailored to attract top talent.

What will you be doing?

• Undertake Red Book valuations on predominantly residential properties for IHT, CGT, disposal and acquisition purposes, along with Expert Witness reports depending on your experience.
• Carry out property inspections to produce accurate and compliant residential valuation reports.
• Ensure reporting meets regulatory requirements and adheres to all legislation and policies.
• Attend networking events and liaise with industry professionals to help generate future work.

What will it take to be successful?

• MRICS or AssocRICS qualified with at least 2 years of post‑qualification experience.
• RICS registered valuer.
• Confident working independently and managing your own caseload.
• High level of professional integrity and attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Full UK Driving License and use of own car that is insured for business use.

Our people are at the heart of our success and are the vital force that animates our business. We strive to create and maintain a welcoming, inclusive, healthy and safe work environment that embraces the range of human differences. We want to attract passionate people who respect and appreciate the uniqueness and value that every one of us brings to the business. By striving to build a diverse, inclusive, and empowered team, we broaden our perspectives, drive innovation, and create a vibrant work environment. We take responsibility for looking after our people’s physical, mental and social wellbeing; professional development; equal treatment; and opportunities for growth.

How will we reward you? What happens next?

This role could be the best move you make; take your time to apply and tell us about who you are, what motivates you, your life experiences and what you would like Cheffins to offer you.
