At Adur & Worthing, we are committed to taking an entrepreneurial and commercial approach to serving our communities and managing the built estate as well as possible. We are responsible for driving income to support essential council services.
So…
- Are you an RICS qualified surveyor looking to get involved helping to direct and manage a local estate and assist with a national strategic property fund?
- Have you considered a better work/life balance working with committed people and across a diverse and interesting estate?
- Have you successfully run commercial asset management properties, created value unexpectedly and are adaptable in your thinking?
- Do you wish to work with various types of buildings, our customers and tenants, including inspecting properties, organising client side refits, MEES changes, disposals and Landlord and Tenant work?
- Do you have some connection to the area and an interest in its future?
We are looking for an exceptional senior asset manager to work in the Property & Investment Team.
The councils have significant holdings of community and commercial property. We want to maximise value from these assets while updating our compliance with forthcoming environmental standards and ensuring our properties are safe and resilient.
The Adur District and Worthing Borough area provides a unique breadth of opportunity, as we own a wide variety of property types, from the Pier to offices, cafes, shops, industrial units, land and lots more besides. You will have experience of disposals, and exposure to both SME and large businesses as tenants. You will also relish the chance to get involved in Fund and community assets working alongside our property managers to drive participation and value for our communities.
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.

This is an environment in which your positive attitude and commercial skills will flourish. We will want you to gain rapid understanding of parts of the portfolio that require your attention, deal with outstanding issues and lead the Assistant Asset Manager, working with other departments.

In this diverse role, you will be working with a high-performing professional team. We are therefore looking for someone with adaptability, initiative, communication skills, and calm under pressure. This is a supportive and collaborative team that values work being done in a timely fashion and will help you to deliver, and grow.
We look forward to you being an instrumental part of our ambitious vision for transforming this dynamic, waterfront area, bringing more growth and prosperity to the people of Adur & Worthing by making the assets we own compliant, income producing and/or of immense value to the community.
