We are looking for an experienced Office & Operations Manager to join our busy office. This role would suit someone with previous

About us:
Home Service Group was established in 2024, bringing together a network of established, family-founded plumbing, heating,
electrical and property service companies operating across the South of England.
Each business has built its own strong reputation over many years. The group was created to unify these companies under a shared
vision, combining deep technical expertise and trusted service with group-level standards, systems and centralised account
management.
Today, the group delivers consistent, high-quality property services across residential homes, schools, managed estates and
commercial portfolios, offering the reliability of a larger organisation alongside the responsiveness of established local teams.
As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: to strengthen our network, invest in better systems and technology, and
provide dependable service at scale for every client and partner.

* Hold regular one-to-one meetings, team meetings and performance reviews.
* Set measurable objectives and KPIs for individuals and the department.
* Identify underperformance and address issues promptly and professionally.
* Recognise high performers and create opportunities for development and progression.
* Coach and mentor team members to improve capability, confidence and accountability.
* Build a culture where employees take ownership rather than waiting to be instructed.
* Ensure appropriate management cover is in place during holidays, sickness and periods of increased workload.
About you:
* Experience of managing and motivating a small team in a fast paced service environment, ideally home improvement, maintenance
or similar.
* CRM experience is preferred.
* Strong organisation and prioritisation skills.
* Confident managing performance and having difficult conversations.
