Your Organised Approach. Our Contractors. Great Residents' Experience.

Working as part of our Property Operations Department, you'll call contractors about work orders, phone residents to confirm appointments, and chase up invoices that don't match what was agreed. You'll support contract meetings, track performance data, and help resolve problems by speaking directly with contractors and customers who need assistance.

If you thrive on organisation, enjoy building relationships through phone conversations, and love providing excellent administrative support that enables others to succeed, this role could take your career to the next level.

What You'll Be Doing

• Calling contractors to coordinate appointments and manage work schedules
• Phoning customers to confirm appointments and keep them informed throughout the process
• Supporting contract meetings by preparing agendas, taking minutes, and tracking actions
• Monitoring contractor performance data and reporting issues to Contract Business Partners
• Calling suppliers about invoices and ensuring value for money
• Ordering goods and services in line with Curo's strategies
• Maintaining accurate records of certificates and contract documentation
• Handling customer queries, concerns, and complaints about contractor work - often by phone
• Speaking directly with customers to resolve issues when contractors are working in their homes
• Making outbound calls to follow up on completed work and gather feedback

What You'll Get In Return

Beyond a salary of £25,878 and the chance to make a real difference every day, you'll get:

• A salary increase to £28,961 on successful completion of key milestones during your probationary period
• 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years
• Your birthday off as an extra holiday
• Up to 10% matched pension contribution
• Hybrid working (3 days office, 2 days home)
• Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
