• Arranging stationery and printing for the Sales team
• Organising travel for events and training
• Keeping files and folders organised and managing old data appropriately
• Maintaining Health & Safety records for sales offices and show homes

Essential Criteria

You’ll be someone who is organised, approachable and comfortable managing a varied workload while supporting a busy team.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• Previous experience working within a Administration role or Business Support function (previous exposure to the housing or property sector would be beneficial)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly in plain English
• A strong commitment to delivering excellent customer service
