We have multiple exciting opportunities for Location Managers across the North East, with a mix of full-time and part-time roles to suit different lifestyles. If you're a natural problem-solver, enjoy working with people, and want a meaningful role with real purpose, Anchor could be the perfect next step in your career.

What’s the role about?

As a Location Manager, you’ll be the heart of the community—supporting residents, keeping things running smoothly, and creating a positive, welcoming environment.

This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll be managing estates, working closely with different teams, external partners, and our residents.

You don’t need previous experience in housing. What matters most is that you’re organised, empathetic, great with people, and ready to learn. Our core values are Accountability, Courage, and Honesty. If these resonate with you, we’d love to speak with you!

Your day-to-day might include:

• Handling new lettings, supporting residents with rent accounts, and addressing any tenancy concerns, including anti-social behaviour
• Ensuring repairs and maintenance are completed to a high standard, and that all health and safety checks and risk assessments are carried out regularly
• Listening to residents, resolving issues before they escalate, and taking ownership of complaints with empathy and clear communication
• Managing budgets and service charge accounts, ensuring transparency and high-quality upkeep of the building and communal spaces
• Encouraging social inclusion by supporting or organising events and activities that help residents feel part of a connected, thriving community
• Liaising with internal departments and external partners—from contractors to local authorities—to ensure residents receive the best possible service

We’re open to a wide range of backgrounds. You might have experience in:

• Customer service or retail, administration or facilities management, hospitality or public service roles, volunteering or community-based work

Above all, we’re looking for someone who:

• Is a confident communicator and great with people
• Can stay calm under pressure and manage multiple tasks
• Is proactive, solutions-focused, and highly organised
• Has empathy and a passion for helping others
• Is willing to learn and take ownership of their work
