About our client
Our client is a well-established regional managing agent with a strong presence across the East and West Sussex coast. They manage a varied portfolio of residential leasehold properties and have a reputation for doing things properly. They’re a close-knit team and they invest in the people they bring in.
The role
Based in Brighton with hybrid working across two to three days in the office, this is a junior block management role supporting the wider property management team across a portfolio of residential sites between Eastbourne and Shoreham.

Day to day you’ll be keeping things moving, leaseholders happy, and contractors on track. The team already has strong technical knowledge, so what they’re really looking for is someone who communicates well and genuinely enjoys working with people.
Salary is £28,000 to £32,000 depending on experience.

- Acting as a point of contact for leaseholders and clients, handling queries professionally and in a timely way
- Supporting the property management team with stock management and the day-to-day running of the portfolio
- Coordinating maintenance activity and chasing outstanding works with contractors
- Carrying out site visits and inspections across multiple locations in the Sussex area
- Helping with service charge correspondence and documentation
- Building relationships across a varied mix of clients, residents, and contractors
