Office Manager - Supporting Village Operations

We’re looking for a proactive and organised Office Manager to join us, keeping village operations running smoothly and efficiently. We’re driven by a clear purpose: to build real communities that enhance the lives of our residents every single day. If you’re seeking a career that means more and gives you more, there’s a place for you at Inspired Villages.

As Office Manager, you’ll work closely with the Village Manager, regional teams, and wider business to uphold our brand, values, and village ethos. You’ll lead administrative processes, support multiple teams, and ensure day-to-day office functions are delivered to a high standard, creating a professional, welcoming environment for residents, colleagues, and visitors alike.

At Inspired Villages, we create vibrant retirement communities where people can live independently, stay connected, and enjoy life to the fullest. By joining us, you’ll be part of a supportive, inclusive, and purpose-driven environment where your contributions make a real difference.

The Role

  • Managing and supporting the reception and administrative team, ensuring responsibilities are clearly understood and delivered to a consistently high standard
  • Acting as a key point of contact for residents, ensuring all requests and queries are handled promptly, professionally, and effectively
  • Maintaining a clean, tidy, and welcoming front-of-house and office environment at all times
  • Identifying, logging, and communicating maintenance issues clearly and efficiently to the maintenance team
  • Providing accurate and detailed information about the village, its facilities, services, and lifestyle to residents, prospective residents, and guests
  • Supporting the planning, coordination, and promotion of village events and activities
  • Overseeing administrative processes to ensure compliance with company policies and procedures
  • Assisting with financial administration, including invoice processing, cash handling, payroll support, and reconciliations
  • Meeting and greeting residents, visitors, and contractors in a warm, professional, and approachable manner

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.
