A sound understanding of leasehold processes, service charges or related housing legislation would be highly advantageous. You'll also have good intermediate IT skills and be educated to GCSE level or equivalent. Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to delivering excellent customer service and embracing equality, diversity and inclusion in everything you do.
