Job description

We develop and run villages with the wow factor that enhance the lives of our owners, their family and their friends. Through our two brands, Mayfield Villages and Audley Villages, we offer stylish apartments and houses complete with the best facilities from bistros and bars, to health clubs and swimming pools. And, of course, exceptional service throughout. What's more, through our dedicated care teams we provide owners as well as customers out in the local community with the support they need to remain independent. It's retirement, but not as the UK has known it.

This beautiful newly opened village comprises 65 apartments, duplex penthouses and cottages, set amongst beautiful landscaped gardens. As well as beautiful properties set in exquisite surroundings, this new retirement village includes a lounge bar and bistro, gym/fitness suite and wellness services for homeowners.

This stunning village is the latest in the Audley portfolio, promising exceptional design features, whilst using traditional design characteristics and materials of South Oxfordshire to create a village feel. Each property benefits from either an extensive balcony, terrace, or private garden, giving property owners the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and landscape gardens which are complete with mature native trees and wildflowers.

• To support events for potential new customers that are being introduced and engaged into the brand.
• To support manage the sales environment including the sales office and sales suites to ensure they are presentable and fit for impromptu and scheduled customer interest.
• To manage sales enquiries via telephone, internet leads, walk-in’s and scheduled/impromptu appointments.
• To present the brand to all enquiries in an informed manner, providing information and following a next steps sales programme to optimise progressive interest.
