The Company

I'm working exclusively with a growing, independently owned block management firm based in East Sussex. Established over a decade ago and recently expanding into the residential sector, the business has experienced 60% growth year-on-year, driven by reputation, high-quality service, and minimal outbound business development.

The Role

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Senior Block Manager to join their team. They're open to hiring at Property Manager, or Senior Property Manager level, depending on your experience.

• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, delivering consistently high levels of service

Ideal candidate qualities:

• Strong organisational skills and common sense
• Able to self-manage and work proactively
• Willing to take responsibility and own mistakes
• Comfortable saying “no” when necessary
• Emotionally resilient and client-focused
• TPI qualification is desirable but not essential
• Junior candidates must show eagerness to learn and grow
• ATPI or MTPI Qualified
• Must have between 3-5 years experience working in Block Management (As a Block Manager or Senior Block Manager)

Culture & Working Environment

The business offers a rare mix of established structure and start-up energy in their residential block division.

What sets them apart:

• A supportive, team-first culture
• Down-to-earth leadership with clear goals
• No micromanagement—just trust and accountability
• A strong commitment to employee growth and long-term development
• Office-based working
