Hertford, United Kingdom Hertfordshire CC Full time

**Advert Information** Diversity**: We are an inclusive employer and value a diverse workforce

You will be joining the team as a qualified Rural Surveyor at an exciting time as we undertake our latest strategic review. We are striving for a sustainable Rural Estate where there is an emphasis on protecting and enhancing nature alongside exploring commercial and strategic opportunities. We are already working on exciting projects such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity net gain, tenancy re-organisations, innovative farm re-lettings, and habitat creation.

**Purpose**:
We are a team of 13 who are responsible for the management of the County Council’s 10,000+ acres of rural property assets spread across Hertfordshire. You will sit along side other Rural Estates Officers in a supportive team which creates a great environment to learn and develop. Your focus will be on the day to day management of your part of the rural property portfolio which will allow you to get to know your assets and deal with matters such as re-lettings, rent reviews, new lease negotiations and much more.

**Challenges and Opportunities**:
**Technical Skills and Qualifications**:
You will be educated to degree standard ideally in a rural property related discipline and be a member of a professional organisation e.g. the RICS Rural Practice Division with at least 2 years PQE. In return we offer an excellent pension and salary whilst working for an organisation that values its employees and invests in training and career development opportunities.

We hope the successful applicant will have experience working within the rural sector with a good knowledge of rural property management and the associated legal framework. You will have excellent interpersonal skills with the confidence to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with colleagues, tenants, contractors and other internal and external professionals.

You will hold a valid license to drive in the UK and have your own car as you will need to travel across Hertfordshire to visit the Estate.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Rural Estate team as the Estate enters its exciting next phase with the implementation of the new strategic plan to ensure it continues to thrive in these changing times. The role will offer true work diversity managing a host of unique property lettings, with everything from dairy and arable farms, woodlands and a country park to golf courses, a rural shopping village, an MOT service station and a brewery.

Although the team’s office base is Hertford we actively encourage flexible and remote working, with most of the team working from home or out on site 5 days a week. We offer you a generous annual leave entitlement (28 days, with opportunities to purchase 5 extra days). We have a flexible working policy which, within reason and in line with business needs, allows you to work the 37 hours to suit you and also build up additional hours to take as a day’s leave, however we are also happy to explore flexible working arrangements such as condensed hours.

We do have other roles available within the team so for an informal discussion, contact Emma Chapman on 01992 556246

Closing Date: 6/03/2023
Interview Date: 20/03/2023
