The Company

I'm working exclusively with a growing, independently owned block management firm based in East Sussex. Established over a decade ago and recently expanding into the residential sector, the business has experienced 60% growth year-on-year, driven by reputation, high-quality service, and minimal outbound business development.

The Role

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Senior Block Manager to join their team. They're open to hiring at Property Manager, or Senior Property Manager level, depending on your experience.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Managing a tailored portfolio of residential blocks (number and complexity based on experience)
  • Liaising with freeholders, leaseholders, and residents
  • Organising and overseeing repairs, maintenance, compliance, and service charge budgeting
  • Managing onboarding of new sites and supporting transitions
  • Acting as a key point of contact for clients, delivering consistently high levels of service
What They're Looking For

The company is looking for committed, self-sufficient professionals who want to be part of something long-term. They're open-minded on experience level, but they do place a premium on attitude, accountability, and emotional intelligence.

Ideal candidate qualities:
  • Strong organisational skills and common sense
  • Able to self-manage and work proactively
  • Willing to take responsibility and own mistakes
  • Comfortable saying "no" when necessary
  • Emotionally resilient and client-focused
  • TPI qualification is desirable but not essential
  • Junior candidates must show eagerness to learn and grow
  • ATPI or MTPI Qualified
  • Must have between 3-5 years experience working in Block Management (As a Block Manager or Senior Block Manager)
Culture & Working Environment

The business offers a rare mix of established structure and start-up energy in their residential block division.

What sets them apart:
  • A supportive, team-first culture
  • Down-to-earth leadership with clear goals
  • No micromanagement-just trust and accountability
  • A strong commitment to employee growth and long-term development
  • Office-based working
Why Apply?

If you're a block management professional looking for a company where your input is valued, your growth is supported, and your career has room to move forward, this could be a perfect match.
