Bromsgrove and Redditch Councils
Group Manager – Strategic Assets
Redditch Borough Council and Bromsgrove District Council
Directorate: Regeneration & Property Services
Grade: Hay 2, £71,041 - £73,870 per annum
This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape a strategically important property and asset management function across Redditch Borough Council and Bromsgrove District Council at a pivotal time for local government.
Following a recent restructure of the service, we are looking for a confident, commercially aware and people-focused leader who can bring direction and energy to a newly formed team. The role offers the chance to embed a new operating model, strengthen performance and influence how the Councils manage, invest in and get best value from their property assets.
You will lead a broad multidisciplinary team covering repairs and maintenance, facilities management, capital programme delivery, engineering and design, compliance, contracts and asset management. This is a high-profile role with real scope to make a lasting difference: ensuring the Councils’ buildings and assets are safe, well managed, resilient, efficient and able to support high-quality services for residents, staff, visitors and partners.
We are looking for someone who can combine strategic insight with strong operational grip. You will be comfortable working with senior managers, Councillors, partners and contractors, and will bring the professional credibility and judgement needed to advise, challenge and influence at a senior level.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

With local government reform due in 2028, this role will be central to preparing the service for future change while continuing to deliver responsive, reliable and effective services day to day. It is an opportunity to lead transformation, shape a modern property and asset management function and make a visible contribution to two ambitious councils.

- Providing strategic and technical leadership across a broad multidisciplinary service.
