No two days will be the same.

Work closely with residents to resolve building-related issues and communicate planned works.
Maintain accurate compliance and safety records.

About you

You'll be a confident and knowledgeable property professional with experience managing complex residential buildings and delivering high standards of compliance and customer service.

You'll bring:

Experience managing residential buildings, estates or complex property assets.
Strong technical knowledge of building systems and maintenance.
Sound understanding of health, safety and compliance requirements.

The Company

A commercial business with a social heart, our vision is to create opportunities that change lives through our drive, expertise, resources and passion.

Our dynamic approach has made us one of the region’s leading providers of affordable homes for rent and sale. Developing new homes across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and the surrounding area, we’re committed to increasing the supply of affordable homes in the communities where they are needed most. Agility and innovation are central to our approach to adapting to change, and we’ll continue to grow our business in today’s fast-paced operating environment.

There’s more to building communities than building houses. In addition to providing quality homes and delivering excellent landlord services, we also provide care at home and at our two extra care communities in Peterborough as well as around the clock support through our LifeLine personal alarm service. Our community investment programme sees us working with specialist partners to bring a range of employment, wellbeing and family-friendly services to the heart of our communities, with a rapidly expanding digital support offer too.
