• Administrative Support: Perform a variety of administrative tasks to support the property management team, including but not limited to organising files, preparing reports, and handling correspondence.
• Business Rates Management: Assist in the administration and management of business rates, ensuring that all properties are correctly assessed and that payments are made promptly. This includes liaising with local authorities, disputing incorrect rate assessments, and applying for rate relief where applicable.
• Compliance Assistance: Support the team in ensuring compliance with legal requirements and lease terms by assisting with the collection and filing of necessary documentation and reports.
• Data Entry and Management: Accurately input and update information in property management databases (e.g. O6ix, TRACE/TRAMPS), ensuring all data regarding lease agreements, payments, and property details are current and correct.

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone.
