About the role

Churchill Estates Management are recruiting for an exceptional Lodge Manager for our retirement development.

This varied and interesting role will see you co-ordinating the development and related activities, making a positive difference every day to the lives of our Home Owners and providing a hassle and worry-free retirement living lifestyle.

Reporting to the Area Manager, you’ll be managing both the maintenance of the property and providing a first-class service to Owners. In this autonomous role, you’ll be the trusted, ‘go-to’ person on-site and a 'friendly neighbour' for Owners.

With the focus on providing a happy and fulfilling lifestyle for the Owners, you’ll have an outgoing and friendly personality with a love of people. You’ll know when to act with sensitivity and diplomacy but also have the efficiency and assertiveness to manage the safety and the security of the development, displaying good judgement and the ability to be calm under pressure. Despite the high levels of social contact with residents, you will be happy working alone and independently, using your own initiative.
