Lettings / Property Manager - Part-Time (School Hours Monday to Friday)

Gravesend

£15 per hour + commission | Benenden Private Health Care | Company car (possible) | Office-based

PLEASE NOTE: THIS ROLE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS RECENT LETTINGS EXPERIENCE.

APPLICATIONS WITHOUT THIS EXPERIENCE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

Are you an experienced lettings professional who enjoys running a portfolio properly, building strong landlord relationships, and seeing things work well because you are on top of them?

We are a well-established, independent lettings and property management business based in Gravesend, and were looking for a confident, experienced part-time Lettings / Property Manager to take ownership of a well-run portfolio of approximately 80 properties.

The majority of the portfolio is held by one long-standing client, meaning this is a role focused on quality management, consistency and trusted relationships.

Any new business introduced by you will be rewarded with a good commission.

Following a full handover, you will be trusted to manage this portfolio independently - making informed decisions, keeping everything running smoothly, and genuinely making a difference.

This role is ideal for someone returning to work who wants sensible school hours, autonomy, and a role that values experience, judgement and professionalism.

Hours

• Monday to Friday: 9.30am - 3.00pm (School Hours)
• Unpaid 30-minute lunch break
• 5 paid hours per day (25 hours per week)
• Office-based role (not remote)

This is a hands‑on, responsible role at the heart of the business. You will:

• Take full ownership of a portfolio of approximately 90 properties
• Carry out property visits and inspections
• Coordinate repairs and maintenance with trusted contractors
• Keep landlords informed, reassured and up to date
• Market properties when they return to the market
• Handle enquiries and progress new lets
• Support new landlord take‑ons
• Monitor rent receipts and release daily rent runs via our property management software
• Proactively manage arrears, working firmly but fairly
• Liaise with appointed legal advocates and support court action where required
• Ensure strong compliance, accuracy and administration throughout

Following the handover period, this is a role where you are trusted to get on with the job, with support available but no micromanagement.

Lettings / Property Manager - Who This Role Is For

You must have:

• At least 2 years recent, hands‑on lettings / property management experience
• Proven experience managing rent collection and arrears
• A clean driving licence

You will ideally also have:

• ARLA / Propertymark or equivalent qualifications
• Experience running a portfolio independently

This role is NOT suitable for trainees, career changers, administrators without lettings experience, or junior applicants.

• £15 per hour basic pay
• Commission on top, including commission for any new business you introduce
• Benenden Private Health Care
• Possible company car for the right candidate
• Sensible school-hour working pattern
• A stable, well‑run portfolio
• A role with real ownership, trust and impact
