Your new company
Somerset Council is a unitary authority, governing the district of Somerset in the Southwest of England. A dynamic vision puts the people of Somerset at the heart of what we do, a council who will be there for residents whenever needed. As a newly formed council, there is an opportunity to harness the vision by bringing together experience, expertise, assets, and networks from five predecessor councils, creating a stronger position to advocate for Somerset on regional, national, and international platforms.

This is your opportunity to help build a fairer, greener, resilient, more flourishing Somerset.

You will join an experienced and passionate existing team of property professionals who are responsible for the management of a wide range of properties, which include leisure centres, depots, offices, and commercial estates. You will lead on landlord and tenant matters and case work for a wide range of council property, both leased in by the council and leased out to third parties and partner organisations.
As part of your role, you will also:

• Undertake lease renewals, rent reviews, and review new leases, to maximise yield and required outcomes from the council's asset base.
• Negotiate terms for new leases, renewals, or disposals, particularly higher value and more complex transactions.
• Maintain an effective case management system and lease data to ensure asset records are up-to-date.
• Instruct and manage the work or external valuers and solicitors.
• Analyse and evaluate market trends, building condition, and other information to develop recommendations and options for asset reviews.
