Great places need great people behind them. As our Property Services Manager, you will lead and develop a team caring for a diverse portfolio with a mix of historic and contemporary buildings. This is an opportunity to combine your property expertise and people leadership in a role with real variety and a visible community impact.

Reporting to the Strategic Assets Group Manager, you will be a member of the Property Services Management Team, helping shape service priorities and longer-term plans for our buildings.

Building a strong, collaborative team will be central to your success. You will set clear objectives, support professional development and provide the guidance and support people need to do their best work. Working alongside the capital programme team, facilities management and service colleagues, you will keep our buildings safe, welcoming and working well.

You will bring experience of managing property teams, repairs, maintenance, statutory compliance, budgets and contracts, alongside the ability to communicate clearly and manage competing priorities.
