Lodge Manager

This is a 'live-in' opportunity. Churchill Estates Management are offering an exciting role for someone who loves working with people, coupled with a background in administration and customer service to join our retirement development as the Residential Lodge Manager. This varied and interesting role provides you with the chance to make a positive difference every day to the lives of our Home Owners. By being a 'friendly neighbour', you'll be organising activities, co-ordinating the development, managing contractors, completing health and safety checks and much more! Reporting to the Area Manager, you'll be managing both the maintenance of the property and providing a first-class service to Owners. You'll be the trusted, 'go-to' person on-site, liaising with a range of customers, contractors, suppliers and internal Churchill Colleagues. This role is pivotal to the success of the Lodge, the enjoyment of Owners and is hugely rewarding.

Your circumstances will be such that you are able to live on-site, in the apartment provided, rent-free. 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 and computer literate, with previous experience of using Microsoft Office applications, including Outlook. 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. A successful Lodge Manager is someone who loves to work 'front of house' and is focused on providing a first-class customer service with excellent administration skills.
