💼 Salary: £40,000 – £75,000 DOE
🕰 Flexibility: Primarily office-based, but flexible for the right candidate
🏢 Sector: Residential Block Management
The Company
We’re working exclusively with a growing, independently owned block management firm based in East Sussex. Established over a decade ago and recently expanding into the residential sector, the business has experienced 60% growth year-on-year, driven by reputation, high-quality service, and minimal outbound business development.
With a portfolio of mid- to large-size blocks (25–195 units), they focus on delivering a premium service over volume. Their portfolio is currently based in the Southeast, with plans to expand into Greater London.
The internal team is collaborative and close-knit, and the business is led by two directors who bring together a strong mix of technical, financial, and service expertise.
The Role
Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Block Manager to join their team. They're open to hiring at Assistant, Property Manager, or Senior Property Manager level, depending on your experience.
If you're seeking a senior-level salary (£70K+), the ability to support new business development—either through networks or bringing clients with you—will be a key advantage.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Managing a tailored portfolio of residential blocks (number and complexity based on experience)
-
Liaising with freeholders, leaseholders, and residents
-
Organising and overseeing repairs, maintenance, compliance, and service charge budgeting
-
Managing onboarding of new sites and supporting transitions
-
Acting as a key point of contact for clients, delivering consistently high levels of service
What They’re Looking For
The company is looking for committed, self-sufficient professionals who want to be part of something long-term. They’re open-minded on experience level, but they do place a premium on attitude, accountability, and emotional intelligence.
Ideal candidate qualities:
-
Strong organisational skills and common sense
-
Able to self-manage and work proactively
-
Willing to take responsibility and own mistakes
-
Comfortable saying “no” when necessary
-
Emotionally resilient and client-focused
-
TPI qualification is desirable but not essential
-
Junior candidates must show eagerness to learn and grow
Culture & Working Environment
The business offers a rare mix of established structure and start-up energy in their residential block division.
What sets them apart:
-
A supportive, team-first culture
-
Down-to-earth leadership with clear goals
-
No micromanagement—just trust and accountability
-
A strong commitment to employee growth and long-term development
-
Office-based working preferred, but willing to be flexible for the right hire
