Acquisitions and Development Manager - Leeds - Hybrid

A pivotal, highly visible role where your analysis shapes real investment decisions…
This privately owned, well-funded care provider has doubled in size over the last 12 months, and it has further growth ambitions. To support that, they need someone at the heart of the growth strategy.
