In this role, you will work closely with estate owners and leaseholders to manage the day‑to‑day upkeep of a varied portfolio of commercial and residential properties.

In addition to the core responsibilities, the successful candidate will also conduct site inspections, agree scopes of work for straightforward repair jobs, and take ownership of ensuring Health & Safety regulations are being implemented and followed. While this is a varied and engaging role with a clear career path, the nature of property management means the successful candidate must be confident, resilient, and capable of handling complex challenges, while also building strong and positive working relationships. The ideal Property Manager will be forward‑thinking, highly organised, and able to deliver work to a consistently high standard within a collaborative team. This role would particularly suit someone who is professional yet entrepreneurial, adaptable to change, and motivated by the opportunity to work within an energetic and fast‑paced environment. The Company Our client are a well-known independent property business with modern offices across Oxfordshire, who have an excellent reputation for offering a truly world-class service which is evidenced by numerous awards. Their staff enjoy a strong benefits pack, access to market-leading training and the successful candidate will be supported with a genuine and proven career path via training and ongoing support.
