  • Strong knowledge of HMO licensing and compliance processes
  • Confidence in delivering excellent customer service
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Previous experience managing or mentoring a team
  • Familiarity with systems such as Qube (helpful, but not essential)

  • A leadership position where you can shape and develop a team
  • A varied role with a mix of operational, strategic, and people-focused responsibilities
