Lettings & Occupancy Coordinator

Brighton | Part-time / Full-time | Hybrid / Remote with local knowledge preferred

Lesley Homes Lets is looking for a proactive, commercially minded Lettings & Occupancy Coordinator to take ownership of marketing our available rooms and generating a consistent flow of enquiries, viewings and lets across our Brighton portfolio.

This is not a passive admin role. We are looking for someone who will actively drive interest in available rooms across SpareRoom, social media, Airbnb and other relevant channels, identify new ways to reach prospective tenants, and help ensure our rooms are let as quickly and consistently as possible.

The key objective of the role is simple: minimise void periods by generating quality leads and maintaining a strong lettings pipeline.

Key responsibilities

• Manage and optimise room listings across SpareRoom, Airbnb and other relevant platforms
• Create and post engaging social media content to promote available rooms
• Proactively source prospective tenants through Facebook groups, social media, local networks and other appropriate channels
• Monitor advert performance and identify rooms requiring additional marketing or pricing adjustments
• Respond to enquiries quickly and professionally
• Qualify prospective tenants and progress suitable applicants towards viewings
• Coordinate closely with our viewing agent to ensure viewing slots are filled
• Follow up with prospective tenants after viewings and help convert interest into lets
• Promote and manage tenant referral campaigns
• Maintain accurate availability, pricing and property information across platforms
• Identify opportunities for short-term or medium-term occupancy where appropriate
• Keep a clear pipeline of enquiries, viewings, applications and upcoming vacancies
• Report weekly on performance, including leads generated, enquiries, viewings and rooms let
• Suggest new marketing channels, campaigns and ideas rather than waiting to be instructed

What we’re looking for

You’ll suit this role if you are proactive, organised and commercially aware, with the confidence to take ownership of results.

Experience in lettings, property, recruitment, hospitality, sales, social media marketing or lead generation would be beneficial, but we are especially interested in someone who naturally thinks:

“Where else can I find people who need a room?”

You should be:

• Confident communicating with prospective tenants
• Comfortable using social media for business
• Highly organised and responsive
• Able to work independently and manage your own workload
• Comfortable working towards measurable targets
• Creative when generating leads and marketing properties
• Commercially aware and conscious of the cost of empty rooms
• Familiar with Brighton and its rental market, ideally
• Comfortable learning platforms such as SpareRoom, Airbnb and Coho

How success will be measured

This role will be judged primarily on:

• Reduction in void periods
• Number of qualified leads generated
• Number of viewings booked
• Conversion of viewings into lets
• Speed at which upcoming rooms are pre-let
• Performance of listings and marketing campaigns

We want someone who takes real ownership of occupancy, rather than simply uploading adverts and waiting for enquiries to arrive.

About Lesley Homes Lets

We operate a growing portfolio of shared homes across Brighton, housing professionals, mature students and other renters looking for high-quality, well-managed accommodation.

We already have systems in place for property management and incoming enquiries. This role is specifically focused on driving demand, filling rooms and building a year-round lettings pipeline.

Hours can be discussed depending on the candidate, but we are looking for someone who can take consistent ownership of the lettings pipeline each week.

If you are proactive, commercially minded and enjoy the challenge of generating leads and converting them into occupied rooms, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: £500.00-£1,000.00 per month
