About the role
Churchill Estates Management are recruiting for an Area Manager based primarily in Dorset and Hampshire, to oversee a number of independent retirement housing developments. The Area Manager ensures that we deliver a first class, cost effective management service combined with exceptional customer service that exceeds expectations and achieves targeted profitability.
The Area Manager will undertake regular visits to their sites around Dorset and Hampshire, developing customer relationships with external landlords and residents whilst supporting your team of Lodge Managers, the people on-site who co-ordinate the day-to-day activities at the developments.
Duties will include controlling expenditure, producing budgets and accounts for presentation to the Homeowners - the Leaseholders - negotiating with contractors and overseeing performance.
The Area Manager supports their team’s professional development by carrying out regular performance reviews, leading on recruitment processes and induction of new colleagues, supporting individuals in their understanding of the company values and the required level of service to achieve a consistently high standard.
The Area Manager will build internal relationships with our support teams based at our Ringwood Head Office. These teams provide support with varying aspects of the role, including Service Charge accounting, Property Services (Section 20's) and Human Resources.
The role is based from home with extensive travel across the region and to the Head Office in Ringwood.
The hours of work are 9.00am – 5.30pm, Monday to Thursday and 9.00am – 5.00pm on Fridays.
About you
Our new Area Manager will demonstrate proven working knowledge of property management and building structures. It is desirable to hold a recognised property management qualification with membership of RICS or IRPM and preferably experience of the leasehold retirement sector.
With proven people management experience, ideally of a dispersed team, you will be confident, friendly, and possess excellent communication skills coupled with a high degree of competence in written and spoken English and numeracy.
You will be self-motivated, able to handle conflict, problem solve and develop relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all levels. Additionally, you will be extremely well organised, flexible, able to manage several tasks simultaneously and willing to take on new responsibilities.
You will demonstrate excellent IT skills with sound knowledge of MS Office applications.
To carry out this essential role, you will require a full UK Driving Licence.
