To be successful, you will be able to demonstrate:

Excellent customer service, communication, and interpersonal skills. The ability to work independently, prioritise workloads, and manage competing demands. Experience of working effectively using mobile technology while out in the field. Strong organisational and time management skills, with a focus on delivering value for money. Experience operating within a changing legislative and organisational environment. Sound problem-solving and decision-making abilities. Resilience and confidence when managing challenging situations. The ability to analyse information and make informed recommendations. Knowledge of service charges.

Desirable

Experience working within the housing or property sector, particularly with leaseholders. A relevant housing qualification, or willingness to work towards one. Knowledge of leasehold and social housing legislation. Previous budget management experience. This role is subject to a Basic DBS check, which will be arranged and paid for by The Guinness Partnership.

Please note the advertised salary includes an additional £4,000 local job supplement for London.

Interviews will be conducted via Microsoft Teams during the week commencing 19th October.
