About the Role
One of the highest rated managing agents in Manchester is looking for a customer-focused person to join our block management department as a Property Manager, looking after buildings and estates in the Manchester area. Our aim is to be the best agent, not the biggest, and to keep workloads manageable to ensure that an excellent service can be delivered – unlike our competitors.
How are we genuinely different to the rest?
- Portfolios are typically around 500 – 700 units, compared to 1000 – 2000 elsewhere.
- We aren't owned by a developer or have multiple shareholders to please, allowing service quality to be put first.
- Support is on hand from senior team members at all times, which is so important when legislation and guidance is constantly changing.
You'd be joining a team of 30 at present, which grows regularly and totals 45 across the company.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate would already be working as a Block Property Manager looking for a more rewarding role. However, we also invite applications from those working in lettings management, facilities management, or block management assistant roles looking to further their career, offering much more responsibility and challenges than lettings as you'll be looking after whole blocks of apartments and estates, not just singular properties. Those with considerable (5+ years) block property management experience will be considered for fast-track progression to a Senior Property Manager role, where the salary ranges from £40,000 – £49,000 per year.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Daily Duties
- Overseeing the smooth running of your portfolio – taking calls, handling enquiries, and arranging call outs with contractors.
- Keeping residents updated, either personally or via our bulk message platform.
- Working with clients to set plans for future improvements/maintenance, obtaining quotes, and setting a budget to suit.
- Assisting with budget and financial control – checking expenditure and identifying debtors, using our very user-friendly system.
- Visiting and inspecting some of our developments – you'd likely have a couple to look after directly, which will increase with experience.
- Helping to provide updates to clients – informing them of issues and what our plans/recommendations are.
- Identifying potential new business, noting down developments that look unloved, and where we may be able to assist.
Qualifications and Skills
- A relevant qualification would be beneficial but not essential. We would support you in attaining TPI accreditation and provide ongoing training.
- Basic knowledge of financial administration (service charge accounting).
- Effective numeracy and data entry skills.
- Excellent interpersonal skills.
- Ability to maintain a high level of accuracy.
- Ability to meet deadlines and grasp the urgency of departmental activities.

Salary
We operate an experience-based salary banding system, linked with portfolio size and complexity. The salary range is between £30,000 – £45,000 depending on experience and portfolio size, i.e. someone with no block management experience would be starting on circa £30,000pa.
Career Progression
Our team grows every few months due to new business being won regularly, meaning progression is real, and we prefer to promote from within.
