Location: Working across the Surrey Hills portfolio of properties – Based at Warren Farm Barns, near Dorking
About the role
Here at the National Trust, we’re always looking at improving our let estate. We value our tenants, the places they live in and the commercial opportunities this brings.
This year the combined annual turnover of our Surrey Hills let and long lease properties portfolio was over £1 million. As our Estates Manager, you’ll make sure that we’re delivering excellent property services for our tenants, while making the most of our income opportunities. You’ll have an eye firmly on cost control and make sure everything we do provides the best value for money. You’ll also look after our estate buildings and see that they are well maintained.
Variety comes with the territory and every day will bring a new challenge. One day you’re helping with financial reporting and planning, the next you’re arranging renovation inspections with buildings surveyors or exploring marketing opportunities. Making the most of our properties, you’ll look to improve the way we work and improve our financial performance
