This position is not linked to a specific to an office, and the experienced team undertakes service charge consultancy on behalf of occupiers principally within the retail and leisure space. The client base is predominantly blue-chip, advising many of the UK’s leading retailers and leisure companies.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of that growth and therefore requires an ambitious and highly motivated team player, who has the individual drive and enthusiasm to succeed.

We believe every role is essential to providing that peace of mind for our customers - whatever part of the business you’re in. Because every role plays a part in driving us further. And everyone can be the change. That’s how deliver value for our customers, and building systems that lead the way
And as a Service Charge Consultant with Bellrock, you’ll do it by
This “hands on” role requires the successful applicant to be directly involved in the administration and management of a substantial service charge portfolio for at least one of our blue-chip clients.
This will involve working on our bespoke in-house database, InsightRE, using their skills to analyse and evaluate financial information, lease documents, identifying issues and negotiating settlements with landlords and/or their agents.
What does it take?
If you’re ready to be the energy that helps us build our business, share our success, and really own it as a Service Charge Consultant, you’ll need
* Basic level of commercial awareness, with strong communication and negotiation skills
* Keen eye for detail, with an analytical and inquisitive mind
* Flexible approach and the ability to work to deadlines
* High level of numeracy and literacy
* Good computer literacy (with a good knowledge of Excel being particularly desirable).
Ideally having some experience of the world of commercial service charges, the successful candidate is likely to have already gained some knowledge in this specialist and highly contentious sector, preferably from an occupier’s perspective. They will therefore already have some experience of communicating directly with landlords and their managing agents, plus must similarly have an awareness of how to appropriately deal with clients, solicitors as well as a range of technical experts.
Keen to learn, the successful individual will at least have a basic understanding of the pertinent lease or other contractual terms and be similarly keen to acquire the skills to forensically analyse any service charge budgets, reconciliations or other relevant information to draw out the pertinent issues. The successful applicant will be able to clearly communicate the issues effectively and appropriately, with a view to minimising our clients’ liabilities and maximising the savings opportunities.

We embrace smarter working practices which offer our employees the opportunity to work their hours flexibly and remotely where their roles and business needs allow. In this role, the successful candidate would be required to work from home Monday to Friday 08:30-17:00.
