Land Assistant

Are you looking to start a career in land and development?

Our client, a well-regarded property firm, is seeking a Land Assistant to support their Land Director in day-to-day operations. They manage Land transactions of all shapes and sizes from small individual plots, to large strategic development opportunities.

This is a great opportunity for someone eager to learn the land and acquisition process from the ground up and build a strong, rewarding career.

No prior experience is required, just enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn. Some knowledge of property or land would be helpful, but full training will be given.

The ideal candidate would be organised, driven and have a keen eye for detail. Initially, the role will entail supporting the Land Director with administrative work, sourcing sites, arranging access and site visits, and shadowing the Land Director whilst you learn with a view to gradually take on more responsibilities and to soon be able to source and secure your own deals to grow within the company and become a Land Manager.

• £25,000 basic salary
• Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm (no weekends!)
• Use of a pool car for site visits
• Full training and support from an experienced Land Director
• Career development opportunities within a growing business

• Assisting the Land Director with daily tasks and project research
• Learning how to identify, assess, and track land opportunities
• Helping to prepare reports, letters, and other documentation
• Supporting communication with landowners, agents, and consultants
• Attending site visits and meetings as needed (pool car provided)

To be considered for the Land Assistant role, you will need:

• A genuine interest in land, property, or development
• Eagerness to learn and grow within the land and new homes sector
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
