Preston is a vibrant and thriving city located at the heart of Lancashire.

Preston enjoys first class transport connectivity on the west coast mainline for rail and is linked to four major motorways including the M6. The city also has good access to superb greenspace including a number of historic parks, the Forest of Bowland and the Lake District with the Fylde coast on its doorstep.

Preston has exciting plans at its heart with regeneration projects focusing on the Harris Quarter and including the new Animate leisure development and flexible office development Amounderness House. The Council is continuing to make effective use of other Council land and buildings to deliver its investment and development ambitions, whilst maximising receipts from the investment property portfolio.

We are looking for an individual to join the Council’s Investment Property team. Direct experience isn’t essential, but you should be able to learn quickly, work on your own initiative and adapt to using software such as GIS, property management systems and financial applications.

You will be providing invaluable support to a team of chartered surveyors, assisting with updating electronic records to the property system, interrogation of electronic and paper files, land ownership queries, provision of credit checks and supply of Land Registry information. Organisational skills are imperative together with an ability to collate and manipulate data.

In addition, you will be supported to take on the management of some of the smaller assets within the council’s property portfolio, which include the letting of garages, garden tenancies, small industrial units and simple licence agreements.

We are a small team and your role will be integral to its collective success. So, if you’re looking to develop your administration and / technical skills within a dynamic environment then I would encourage you to apply for this position. Full support through any training that would be required to develop and improve your skills will be provided.

As an employer we like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment by giving them the opportunity to access a range of employee benefits including;

• Flexible and hybrid working
• A minimum of 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Family friendly policies and access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Local Government Pension Scheme, AVC’s, life assurance scheme
