Property Services Manager

Great places need great people behind them. As our Property Services Manager, you will lead and develop a team caring for a diverse portfolio with a mix of historic and contemporary buildings. This is an opportunity to combine your property expertise and people leadership in a role with real variety and a visible community impact.

Working across Redditch Borough Council and Bromsgrove District Council, you will help care for the places where people come together to enjoy leisure and culture, do business and deliver public services. Whether prioritising investment in a historic building or planning maintenance for a modern facility, you will see the practical difference your decisions make.

Reporting to the Strategic Assets Group Manager, you will be a member of the Property Services Management Team, helping shape service priorities and longer-term plans for our buildings. You will oversee repairs, maintenance and statutory compliance, manage budgets and contractors, and use property information to guide investment and deliver value for money.

Building a strong, collaborative team will be central to your success. You will set clear objectives, support professional development and provide the guidance and support people need to do their best work. Working alongside the capital programme team, facilities management and service colleagues, you will keep our buildings safe, welcoming and working well.

You will be an experienced people manager with sound technical judgement and a practical, approachable leadership style. You will bring experience of managing property teams, repairs, maintenance, statutory compliance, budgets and contracts, alongside the ability to communicate clearly and manage competing priorities.
