Your next chapter

Our Property Management Service is a fast-moving department that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. As a Property Manager, you’ll sit at the operational centre of our guest experience, working closely with homeowners and our network of trusted housekeepers and tradespeople to ensure properties are guest-ready and managed to a high standard.

This role offers a genuine mix between office coordination and time out in the field, typically 2–3 days each week completing property checks, supporting guests and building relationships with local partners. The systems and detail underpin everything we do, so you’ll thrive if you enjoy accuracy, structure and managing lots of moving parts in a fast-paced environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Coordinating housekeepers, tradespeople and maintenance contractors
• Managing schedules and turnaround times across a diverse regional portfolio
• Handling guest and homeowner queries before, during and after stays
• Conducting property checks to ensure standards of cleaning and maintenance are upheld
• Ensuring properties remain compliant with relevant health, safety and legal requirements
• Growing a trusted network of local housekeepers and tradespeople
• Managing feedback and resolving issues professionally and sensitively
• Maintaining accurate records and keeping systems up to date
• Supporting our out-of-hours service on a rolling rota
• Travelling locally for property visits, meetings or guest support

Out-of-hours work is paid as overtime.

You’ll thrive in this role if

• You are friendly, confident and resilient under pressure
• You have excellent people skills and can manage sensitive or tricky conversations with ease
• You’re highly organised and enjoy keeping complex operations running smoothly
• You have strong admin and systems skills, with great attention to detail
• You solve problems proactively and stay calm in time-sensitive situations
• Experience in property, housing, estate agency or travel is an advantage (not essential)
• A full UK driving licence is required for this role

While we’ve grown over the years from a small South West holiday letting agency to one of the market leaders in the industry, we’ve never lost sight of our strong family ethos and we keep the same values at the heart of everything we do. Along the way, we’ve nurtured a caring and collaborative culture that drives us forward and keeps our team inspired and motivated every day.
