The Company We re 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. With a portfolio of
mid- to large-size blocks ( units), they focus on delivering a premium service over volume. Their portfolio is currently based in the Southeast, with plans to expand into Greater London. The internal team is collaborative and close-knit, and the business is led by two directors who bring together a strong mix of technical, financial, and service expertise.
The Role Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a
Block Manager to join their team. They're open to hiring at
Assistant,
Property Manager, or
Senior Property Manager level, depending on your experience. If you're seeking a
senior-level salary (£70K+), the ability to support new business development either through networks or bringing clients with you will be a key advantage.
Key responsibilities include: - Managing a tailored portfolio of residential blocks (number and complexity based on experience)
- Liaising with freeholders, leaseholders, and residents
- Organising and overseeing repairs, maintenance, compliance, and service charge budgeting
- Managing onboarding of new sites and supporting transitions
- Acting as a key point of contact for clients, delivering consistently high levels of service
What They re Looking For The company is looking for
committed, self-sufficient professionals who want to be part of something long-term. They re open-minded on experience level, but they do place a premium on
attitude,
accountability, and
emotional intelligence.
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
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 preferred, but willing to be flexible for the right hire
