This is a unique opportunity to work for an award winning organisation and genuinely contribute to the achievement of our corporate aims and objectives.

About the role

The successful candidate will coordinate, organise and provide administrative help and support to a range of customer-facing staff, by resolving the more complex tenancy-related issues without the need for direct supervision.

You will be able to enter, retrieve and interrogate data on matters relating to repairs, tenancies and neighbourhoods ensuring strict adherence to quality assurance measures at all times.

You will possess strong communication and negotiation skills and be solution-focussed.
