FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR A LETTINGS MANAGER
Sheffield | £35,000 - £40,000 | Full Time
Looking for a role where your property experience makes a genuine difference? This is an opportunity for an experienced letting professional to step away from the pressures of sales targets, commission chasing, and high-street agency life whilst still using the commercial, negotiation, and relationship-building skills you've spent years developing.
We're looking for a Lettings Manager to help grow a portfolio of quality residential properties that provide safe, affordable housing for people moving towards independent living.
This is not a traditional sales role. Instead of competing for instructions and chasing fees, you'll focus on building long-term partnerships with landlords, negotiating sustainable agreements, securing good-quality properties, and helping people access housing they may otherwise struggle to afford. If you're an experienced Branch Manager, Deputy Branch Manager, or Senior Lettings Manager who enjoys the commercial side of property but wants a role with purpose and a better work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
You'll play a key role in expanding our property portfolio across Sheffield and surrounding areas by:
- Building relationships with private landlords, investors, and developers.
- Securing residential properties through long-term leasing arrangements.
- Negotiating fair and sustainable lease agreements.
- Promoting the benefits of working with our organisation to landlords.
- Supporting the mobilisation and onboarding of new properties.
- Working closely with housing and operational teams to ensure properties are occupied quickly and efficiently.
- Monitoring occupancy levels and reducing void periods.
- Maintaining accurate property and portfolio records.
- Producing reports on acquisitions, occupancy, and portfolio growth.
- Identifying opportunities for future expansion.
