An exciting opportunity has emerged for a Lettings Manager to join one of Adecco's most improved local authority clients for a temporary assignment for the next 3-6 months, paying up to £250-300 a day (Umbrella).
Based in West London and required to work hybridly in our client's office two days each week, this is a full time role (35 hours each week, Monday to Friday) and our client is looking to hire an established team manager to take control of lettings. This is lettings only and has no responsibility for the property maintenance or the void surveyors.
The successful candidate will need to line manage the six staff that let the properties and ensure that they are conducting the role effectively and efficiently. Other key elements of the role include:
- Reducing the backlog of read to let properties as quickly as possible through strong leadership and improved processes
- Regularly updating systems to ensure the team is letting properties as quickly as possible
- Ensuring officers are keeping records accurate and updated in a timely fashion
- Liaising with the voids surveyors and patch surveyors to get issues sorted quickly, in order to get properties let
- Liaising with the allocations team to ensure nominations are coming through in a timely manner to prevent the delay in letting properties
- Building strong and lasting relations with all the department's stakeholders
- Holding the team accountable to low letting numbers each week
- Looking for quick wins to improve and organise the in-house lettings system in the short term.
Only applicants who feel they meet the above criteria and can start on short notice (1-3 weeks' notice) need apply. Our client is willing to consider applicants from all backgrounds but public sector (especially local government) experience would be highly desirable.
