Job description

Longstanding team members, a friendly supportive office, recognition for your hard work and support through further qualifications and training, what more could a Block Manager ask for!

We’re currently recruiting for a small firm in Portsmouth who’re seeking their next Block Manager, managing a portfolio DOE and working with an experienced team of Block Managers, Support Staff, Accountants and Senior Management. As a company, they feel they go the extra mile for the clients and leaseholders and offer a close knit, positive workplace to their employees.

As their new Block Manager, you’ll cover the full process including section 20 major works, service charge budgets, health & safety audits, AGMs (time off given in lieu), working closely with contractors on minor and major works, providing excellent communication to leaseholders and freeholder/RMC clients and conducting Fire Risk Assessments etc. You’ll work closely with the entire team who support each other on their portfolio, truly working with a “one team” mindset.

Their Director has built the team over 21 years and remains very much involved with his own portfolio of clients to manage, making sure he’s still on the ground with his team, never ending up too far removed to support and train everyone. Their portfolio has continued to grow steadily and organically over time, all located in the Portsmouth & Southsea region. They’re looking for a new team member who values the same high standards they do and who also enjoys a good laugh with their colleagues!
