Place Manager

Our Vacancy

At Peabody, we believe thriving communities and places are built by leaders who think and act differently. We are looking for someone that is curious, pragmatic, and unafraid to set new standards. As our new Place Manager for Southmere, you’ll play a crucial role in one of our most exciting regeneration schemes, helping to evolve how we deliver services, manage our homes, and shape a vibrant, safe, and inclusive neighbourhood that residents love and take pride in.

This is more than a traditional housing management position. We’re looking for someone who leads with vision, takes ownership, and empowers those around them. Someone who can inspire a multidisciplinary team, think strategically, and work hands-on to ensure that residents feel truly proud of where they live. You’ll bring together tenancy and property management, building safety, estate services, and community engagement under one clear vision…a vision that you will support Peabody to mould.

You will have the freedom to design and deliver services in new ways, while championing innovation and continuous improvement. We want you to be a driving force for change, using data and resident feedback to learn what’s working and what needs to evolve. You’ll play a vital role in representing the voices of all residents and ensuring services are responsive, inclusive, and truly people centred. To be successful in this role, you’ll be required to work in Southmere daily.

This is your opportunity to be a true trailblazer, to set new benchmarks for placemaking initiatives, and to leave a lasting legacy that showcases Peabody’s aspirations for creating sustainable homes and places. You’ll join a supportive, forward-thinking organisation that values your growth, creativity, and empowers you to lead in your own way.

To be successful in this role you’ll need:

To succeed, you’ll need strong leadership experience in housing, property, or estate management, and a proven ability to guide and motivate diverse teams. You’ll need to be passionate about customer service and committed to delivering real, tangible outcomes for residents. We’re looking for someone self-motivated and resilient, who embraces challenges with energy and creativity, and who thrives on learning and sharing new ideas to help us continually improve.

This role will require a Basic DBS check.

 Here are just a few of the benefits of working at Peabody:

• 30 days’ annual holiday, plus bank holidays 
• two additional paid volunteering days each year 
• flexible benefits scheme, including family friendly benefits and access to a discount portal 
• 4 x salary life assurance
