Job Description

There'll be elements of administrative tasks such as letter writing, mail merges, keeping records up to date and electronic filing, so you can happily base yourself at home if you wish for this element of the role.



You'll have a background working in housing management, with experience in communicating with customers about an array of tenancy enquiries. You'll be resilient and able to deliver messages in a clear way to our customers.



Your attention to detail will ensure the electronic filing is up to date and accurate processing is taking place.
