Junior Resident Services Manager

Build to Rent | Single-Family Housing

The Opportunity

We are currently working with a highly regarded and rapidly growing operator within the UK's Build to Rent (BTR) single-family housing sector, who are looking to appoint a Junior Resident Services Manager to join their growing team.

The organisation specialises in providing high-quality, new-build family homes for rent across the UK, with a strong focus on creating well-managed communities and delivering an exceptional resident experience.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within residential property, lettings, tenancy management or resident services.

You'll be joining a collaborative and forward-thinking team where you'll receive support and development while gaining valuable exposure to the full resident lifecycle.

About the Role

As a Junior Resident Services Manager, you'll support the delivery of an excellent resident experience throughout the tenancy journey, from move-in through to renewal and eventual move-out.

Working closely with the Resident Services Team Manager and wider operational teams, you'll assist with tenancy administration, resident queries, inspections, complaints, compliance and end-of-tenancy processes.

This is a development-focused role, ideal for someone who has a genuine interest in residential property and is keen to broaden their experience within a growing BTR environment.

You don't need to be an expert in tenancy legislation from day one. We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive, customer-focused and eager to learn.

About You

We're looking for a driven, customer-focused and organised individual who is keen to build a long-term career within residential property.

You may already have experience in residential lettings, property administration, tenancy management or customer service, or you may be ready to take the next step in your property career.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience or knowledge of residential property, lettings or tenancy administration.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• Strong organisational and coordination abilities.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving.

For the right person, this role offers a clear opportunity to develop your property knowledge, increase your responsibilities and build a long-term career within the BTR sector.
