What we’re all about

You’ll support and assist with administration requirements within the Space Homes Sales team; including the provision of information, data monitoring and reporting.

Organisation is key, so you’ll be creating electronic files and folders, coordinating stock property management, pre-completion cleans and snagging repairs – which all contribute to meeting our sales targets of course.

We get lots of queries and requests for advice following sales completion, so you’ll be putting your excellent customer service skills to use and ensuring a positive experience and in turn upholding our external reputation.
