Lodge Manager

Churchill Estates Management are recruiting for an exceptional Part-time Lodge Manager for our retirement apartments in Emsworth. We seek someone who loves working with people, with a background in administration and customer service. 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. You will liaise with a range of customers and suppliers, managing contractors, scheduling maintenance, completing health and safety checks, organising activities and events for Owners and much more! This part-time role is pivotal to the success of the Lodge, the enjoyment of Owners and is hugely rewarding.

This position is ideally suited to people with experience of similar backgrounds such as retirement living, social housing, hospitality, uniformed services, charity and health & social care sectors.

Your passion for excellent customer service is vital. 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. To support with the organisation of events and to effectively administer the maintenance of the site, you'll be an accomplished administrator, computer literate, with previous experience of using Microsoft Office applications, including Excel and Outlook.
