About Lloyds Living

As we scale at pace, you'll be part of a dynamic team shaping the future of property management, where innovation, customer focus, and growth go hand in hand.

Purpose of the Role

As a Block / Facilities Manager, you will take responsibility for the operational management, compliance, safety, and maintenance of a portfolio of residential blocks and communal assets. You will ensure buildings remain safe, compliant, well-maintained, and deliver an excellent living environment for residents.

The role requires effective management of planned and reactive maintenance, statutory compliance, service partners, budgets, and resident communications, ensuring all legal and regulatory obligations are met within required timeframes. You will work closely with internal teams, contractors, and residents to maintain high standards across the portfolio while driving continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

Building Compliance & Safety

  • Manage all statutory and regulatory compliance requirements across the portfolio.
  • Ensure all compliance certification is obtained, reviewed, monitored, and renewed within legally required timeframes.
  • Verify the validity and accuracy of compliance documentation, including but not limited to:
    • Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
    • Fire door inspections
    • Emergency lighting inspections
    • Gas Safety Certificates
    • EICRs
    • Lift inspections and servicing
    • Water hygiene and Legionella assessments
  • Identify inaccuracies, omissions, defects, or non-compliant information within certification and escalate for immediate resolution.
  • Maintain robust compliance records and audit trails within relevant systems.
  • Ensure all remedial actions arising from inspections, assessments, and compliance reports are completed within required legal, risk-based, and contractual timescales.
  • Support building safety initiatives and contribute to a strong compliance culture across the business.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
