Hybrid - London
Role Overview
You will play a pivotal supporting role to a Senior Property Manager, helping to deliver first-class management across four London residential developments. You will be a trusted point of contact for residents, contractors and stakeholders, coordinating smooth day-to-day operations, maintaining compliance, and ensuring actions are followed through.
Your hybrid pattern will include being based at Dagenham Green once every two weeks, joining the wider team at our Woolwich Office once a month, and carrying out monthly site inspections across the four developments, shared with the Senior Property Manager. You’ll balance time on site with focused home and office-based work to keep your portfolio well-organised, safe and running efficiently.

Most days you will:
- Manage inboxes and resident requests
- Progress maintenance actions with contractors
- Keep compliance, H&S and finance-related records up to date
- Prepare reports, minutes and communications
- Support the planning and follow-up of site inspections, meetings and remedial works
- Work closely with your Senior Property Manager to prioritise tasks, spot risks early and keep stakeholders informed
What Success Looks Like
- Residents receive timely, clear and courteous responses, with issues resolved or progressed swiftly.
- Compliance, H&S and statutory obligations are meticulously tracked, documented and up to date.
- Contractor works are well-scoped, competitively procured, delivered on time and to standard.
- Service charge administration is accurate, with strong cost control and proactive variance spotting.
- Site inspections translate into clear action lists with visible progress and tidy close-out.
- Your Senior Property Manager and team are supported with organised files, reports and on-time deliverables.
