About us

We are Churchill Retirement Living, the fastest growing company in the UK retirement house building sector, and we’re looking for people like you.

We’re a family-owned business with ambitious growth plans. Currently employing over 700 people, we pride ourselves on building beautiful, quality, purpose-built one and two-bedroom apartments in desirable locations across the UK for those seeking an independent lifestyle in later life. Our developments are designed to provide security, peace of mind, and independence, removing the hassles and fears often associated with aging.

We have been recognized with numerous awards, including being named by The Sunday Times as the 3rd Best Company to Work for in the UK and being crowned overall ‘Housebuilder of the Year’ by the WhatHouse? Awards 2016, the first retirement living specialist to receive this accolade.

About the role

We’re seeking an Assistant Site Manager to oversee developments in the South East region. You will support the Site Manager throughout the construction cycle, ensuring all deadlines are met and standards are maintained according to company and NHBC guidelines.

Working hours are from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. The role may require infrequent call-outs in the absence of the Site Manager. Once a development is completed, you will be assigned to another site within the region.

About you

You should have relevant experience in building residential apartments and new homes, be a qualified First Aider at Work, and may have a trade background. Holding a CSCS Card and NVQ Level 3 or 4 in Site Management (preferably on the NHBC Site Manager Accreditation programme) is essential.

You must be assertive, calm under pressure, and capable of liaising effectively with external suppliers, specialists, and internal teams to meet construction deadlines without compromising quality. Influencing skills are key to achieving cooperation. A valid UK driver’s license is also required.
