Key Responsibilities

• Manage the development of residential adult care properties, with a focus on modular construction and existing building refurbishment and re-configuration.
• Oversee all stages of the project lifecycle from site identification to design, budget management, and construction delivery.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Property, Finance, Operations, and Maintenance) to ensure projects align with business objectives and budgets.

• Strong analytical skills to present complex data to executive teams.
• Ability to thrive in a high-pressure environment with multiple stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel frequently across the UK.

The Opportunity

You will join at a critical time of growth, with the chance to shape the development team's future and grow into a leadership role as the company expands its property portfolio. The role is output-driven, with a focus on project success rather than time in the office. This is an opportunity for an adaptable and driven individual to make a meaningful impact within a mission-driven organization.
