At Adur & Worthing we are committed to taking an entrepreneurial and commercial approach to serving our communities and we are excited to have the opportunity to grow the Property Team. We are focused on using our assets and investments to improve our economy and support our communities. So…

If you are, we would love to hear from you.

This is a key position in an environment where your property, tactical and commercial skills will flourish and where energy for the job is appreciated, led by experienced, supportive and friendly staff to assist in your success.

The Councils have significant holdings of community and commercial property and we want to maximise value and community benefit from these assets. Working across the Adur District and Worthing Borough administrative area provides a unique breadth of opportunity, as we own a very wide variety of property types. This includes high quality investment assets, retail assets, agricultural land, urban investment property, community and sports/leisure property, the seafronts and a range of eclectic assets.

We will support you in quickly gaining an understanding of parts of the portfolio that require attention, get ahead of Landlord and Tenant issues, work with us and our tenants on MEES compliance, property disposals and problem solving issues, whilst we will also ensure the correct training and onboarding is in place to allow you start with the Councils in the best way possible.

This is a collaborative team that values work being done in a timely fashion, whilst understanding and supporting personal growth and development. There is experienced support to assist you in the role and assist in getting to know our systems and processes. We have good data, good geographic software and organised record keeping to enable an easy start.

A valid driving licence and ability to travel very occasionally to our sites is required with predominant travel being across Adur and Worthing areas.

We look forward to you being part of the team to bring more growth and prosperity to the people of Adur & Worthing by making the assets we own compliant, income producing and/or of immense value to the communities that we serve.
