• Assisting with the onboarding of new housekeepers and supporting the wider Property Management team with operational requirements


• Supporting the management, organisation and distribution of property supplies, monitoring stock levels and arranging replenishment where needed


• Providing administrative support, including invoice processing, owner charges, data checking, spreadsheet preparation and reporting


• Taking ownership of daily administrative tasks, ensuring information is accurately recorded and communicated

• Completing weekly office Health and Safety checks and ensuring relevant procedures are followed


• Working collaboratively with the Homeowner, Property Recruitment and Customer Service teams to ensure a joined-up experience


• Supporting the delivery of Property Management targets and contributing to the overall success of the region

What We're Looking For

• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of people


• A customer-focused approach, with experience handling enquiries and providing excellent customer service


• Excellent organisation and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively


• Strong administrative skills and excellent attention to detail


• Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office and experience using CRM systems
