This is your chance to step out of the late nights, weekend chaos and constant firefighting - and step into a role where you lead a vibrant community, shape the culture of a building, and genuinely make an impact every day.

No two days the same. No micromanagement. No crazy rotas.

Just a brilliant job with real ownership.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Monday to Friday, 9AM-5PM (yes, really)
• Up to £55,000 + 10% bonus (after first year)
• Proper autonomy to run your building your way
• A fun, supportive team and sociable, community‑focused environment
• A role that still has the buzz of hospitality/retail - but without the lifestyle sacrifice
• A company that's growing fast and loves promoting from within

• Make sure residents have an amazing experience from move‑in to move‑out
• Keep the building running smoothly (operations, safety, compliance, maintenance)
• Manage budgets, contractors and service standards
• Build partnerships locally and help shape the community vibe
• Bring ideas, fun and energy - and turn the building into the place to live

Who We're Looking For

Retail Store Manager, Hotel Manager or Deputy, Hospitality General Manager, Leisure / Gym / Venue Manager… and you're a natural leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, people‑focused environment, you'll fit right in.

You’ll need:

• 2-3+ years’ management experience
• A "lead from the front" style
• Great organisation and problem‑solving skills
