Do you want to make a real difference to later life? We are looking for a confident, compassionate and organised manager to run our Uckfield retirement living court, helping older residents live safely, independently and within a welcoming community. What will the role involve? You will oversee the safe and efficient running of the court; build trusted relationships with residents; respond to wellbeing and safeguarding concerns; manage tenancy issues, complaints, lettings, voids, repairs and safety checks; maintain accurate records; and work with families, contractors and partner agencies.
