Our client, the UK's leading retirement builder, has been providing specialist retirement property for over 30 years and has built a reputation for customer service and satisfaction that is the envy of the house building industry.

With an excellent educational background, to degree level, you will have previous 'hands-on' residential property management experience (this is essential to be successful in this role), ideally within a similar role coupled with an understanding of budgets and profit / loss accounts.
