Run the department properly. Build standards that last.



This is a leadership role within a well-established independent agency with a strong local reputation and a sizeable lettings portfolio.


The foundations are in place. The opportunity now is to tighten operations, strengthen the team, and make the department run better.


You will take full ownership of the lettings and property management function. Not just overseeing it, improving it.



The role


You will lead the department day to day, making sure standards are high, the team is aligned, and the portfolio is managed properly.


This is a hands-on position. You will be involved, visible, and expected to take control when needed.


Your focus will include:


  • Overseeing the full lettings and property management operation
  • Leading, supporting, and developing the team
  • Managing a busy residential portfolio
  • Ensuring full compliance across all activity
  • Handling landlord and tenant issues with confidence
  • Overseeing inspections, notices, and tenancy processes
  • Managing rent arrears and external relationships where needed
  • Coordinating maintenance and ensuring work is completed properly
  • Reviewing processes and improving how the department runs



What you will deliver


  • A well-structured, organised lettings department
  • Clear processes that the team follows consistently
  • Landlords who feel informed and well looked after
  • A team that performs and works together properly
  • Strong compliance and attention to detail across the portfolio



What you need


  • Solid experience in residential lettings and property management
  • Experience leading a team or stepping into leadership
  • Strong understanding of current lettings legislation
  • Ability to manage both people and process
  • Calm, professional approach in a busy environment
  • Good organisation and attention to detail
  • Confidence to take ownership and make decisions



Why this role works


This is not a role where you are boxed in.


You will have the space to improve how things are done and the backing to implement it.



If you want a position where you can take control of a department, raise standards, and see the difference you make day to day, this is a strong move.
