Property Management Assistant

Fixed term to March 2029

We are seeking a Property Management Assistant to provide administrative support to the Council's Statutory Maintenance Team. The role supports Technical Statutory Maintenance Officers in the delivery and monitoring of statutory compliance across the Council's property portfolio. This role will primarily support the Solar PV Team.

Duties include maintaining compliance records, processing certification and statutory documentation, updating corporate systems, coordinating correspondence, and maintaining service level agreement documents. The postholder will support reporting and help ensure statutory maintenance obligations are met in line with legislative and Council requirements.

The ideal candidate will have strong administrative experience, good attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively within a small team.
