- Monitoring gas safety certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), EPCs and other statutory compliance requirements.
- Processing tenant references and application forms.
- Chasing rent arrears and maintaining accurate financial records.
- Carrying out property viewings.
- Maintaining accurate electronic files and case records.
- Diary management for inspections, maintenance appointments, move-ins and move-outs.
- Building excellent relationships with landlords, tenants and contractors.

- Excellent organisational skills.
- Confidence dealing with people both face-to-face and over the phone.
- A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Strong IT skills.
- The ability to prioritise work in a busy office.
- A full UK driving licence.
Previous experience in lettings is not essential. Full training will be provided.
Career Development
We believe in developing our people.
You'll receive structured training across every area of the business and will study towards the Propertymark (ARLA) Level 3 Qualification, the industry's recognised professional qualification.
- Company-funded ARLA Level 3 qualification.
- £1,000 salary increase upon successful completion.
- Qualification to be completed within your first 12 months.
