Telford & Wrekin Council,
We’re looking for an organized and proactive Property Management Officer to oversee a portfolio of properties across the private rented sector and council-managed accommodation. You’ll be responsible for managing tenancies, maintaining property standards and working closely with tenants to ensure homes are safe, well‑managed and fit for purpose.

What We’re Looking For
You will have experience managing properties or tenancies within a local authority, landlord or letting agency setting, with a good understanding of housing legislation and standards. You will be confident working with landlords and tenants, carrying out property inspections, managing rent and payments, and maintaining accurate records and databases.
You’ll bring strong customer service skills, the ability to balance commercial realities with meeting housing need, and a proactive approach to problem‑solving. Knowledge of homelessness and housing law, the private rented sector, tenancy agreements and welfare benefits is essential, alongside strong communication, negotiation and report‑writing skills.
We’re looking for someone who is organized, flexible and self‑motivated, able to work independently and as part of a team, commercially minded and committed to delivering high‑quality customer care. A full driving licence is required.
