Introduction
We’re looking for a proactive, hands-on Assistant Commercial Property Manager to take day-to-day responsibility for a bespoke portfolio of our commercial property investments. This is a rewarding office-based role, where you’ll oversee operational management, financial performance and statutory compliance, while building strong relationships with tenants and ensuring our buildings are safe, compliant and performing at their best.
Alongside core property management, you’ll be part of our wider land and property development team, supporting new care and residential opportunities. You’ll have the chance to shadow an experienced colleague, gaining exposure to land, planning and sales activity, while playing a meaningful role in shaping future developments
About You
You’re an organised, commercially minded property professional who enjoys being hands-on and taking ownership. You’re comfortable being the main point of contact for tenants, juggling multiple priorities, and working with a range of external consultants and contractors.
You’ll bring:
A minimum of two years’ experience in commercial property management
Strong working knowledge of landlord & tenant matters, service charges and lease compliance
Confidence managing budgets, invoicing, reconciliations and financial reporting to our ‘in-house’ accounts team
A good understanding of statutory compliance (fire safety, H&S, asbestos, gas, electrical, water hygiene)
The ability to manage contractors, tenders and maintenance programmes
Excellent communication skills and a professional, solutions-focused approach to tenant relationships
A high level of integrity, discretion and attention to detail
High level of computer proficiency including Microsoft Office/365
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re naturally curious, commercially aware, and keen to broaden your experience into development, planning and asset management as part of a growing portfolio.
About Us
We’re an award-winning, family-owned and independent care home group with an outstanding reputation across the industry.
Alongside our established care portfolio, we are growing our land and property development arm to support new care and residential opportunities. Our property and development team plays a vital role in ensuring our own commercial investments are well-managed, compliant and performing strongly, while also helping shape the next phase of our growth.
We offer a supportive, collaborative environment where you’ll be encouraged to develop your skills, gain exposure to the development side of the business, and make a real, tangible impact.

Colten Care is an expanding family-owned business with 21 beautifully appointed care homes across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and West Sussex.
Our established services are all rated as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we provide residential, general nursing, dementia and short-stay care.
We are a prestigious, award-winning healthcare provider that champions the latest approaches to person-centred care. Each of our homes has a distinct character while retaining that all-important sense of ‘home.’ We play an active role in furthering dementia friendly communities as part of our work.
Our aims are simple: to be recognised as both the care home ‘provider of choice’ and ‘employer of choice.’
