Shaping the future of Leicester's social housing portfolio.
As the largest landowner in the city, Leicester City Council manages a diverse portfolio of residential housing and strategic development sites. Our property decisions directly influence housing delivery, economic growth, investment, regeneration and the long-term financial sustainability of the Council.
We are looking for talented Senior Strategic Asset Management professionals with residential experience to join our Asset Strategy team in key leadership roles.
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of housing across Leicester. Working within our Asset Strategy team, you will lead and support the acquisition, disposal and strategic management of residential assets that help deliver the Council's housing, regeneration and growth ambitions.
You will work on a diverse range of residential property matters, from individual homes and apartment blocks to development and regeneration opportunities, helping to maximise social value and make the best use of public assets.
Working alongside senior officers, elected members, housing colleagues, developers and external partners, you will influence major decisions that directly impact residents and neighbourhoods across the city.
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.

The role will include a wide variety of residential properties, including individual dwellings, blocks and development sites. You will manage professional staff, lead major investment and disposal projects, develop business cases and financial appraisals, and provide expert advice to support key corporate decisions.

- Residential asset management
