About the role

Churchill Estates Management are recruiting for an exceptional Part-time Development Manager for our retirement apartments in Southbourne. We seek someone who loves working with people, with a background in administration and customer service. This varied and interesting role will see you co-ordinating the development and related activities, making a positive difference every day to the lives of our Home Owners and providing a hassle and worry-free retirement living lifestyle.

Reporting to the Area Manager, you’ll be managing both the maintenance of the property and providing a first-class service to Owners. In this autonomous role, you’ll be the trusted, ‘go-to’ person on-site and a 'friendly neighbour' for Owners. You will liaise with a range of customers and suppliers, managing contractors, scheduling maintenance,completing health and safety checks, organising activities and events for Owners and much more!
