Are you highly organised, customer-focused and passionate about keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes?
We're looking for a Grounds & Estates Coordinator to join our team on a fixed 6-month contract and play a key role in supporting the delivery of our Grounds and Estates services. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives on building relationships, loves variety, and takes pride in delivering excellent customer service every day.
What you'll be doing
You'll be at the heart of our Grounds and Estates team, providing essential administrative support that helps us deliver great services to our customers and communities.
No two days will be the same. You'll work closely with Managers, Team Leaders, Tree Officers, contractors and colleagues across the business to coordinate activities, manage information and ensure everything runs efficiently.
From being the first point of contact for customer enquiries and correspondence, to monitoring service delivery, raising purchase orders and maintaining accurate records, you'll help keep our services organised, responsive and customer focused.
You'll also play an important role in identifying improvements, supporting reporting requirements, and ensuring our financial and operational processes are followed correctly.
Knowledge of Grounds and Estates services would be beneficial, but just as important is your ability to learn quickly, work collaboratively and share our commitment to excellent service.
Why join us?
At Abri, we're committed to creating thriving communities and providing great homes and services for our customers. You'll be joining a supportive team where your contribution matters, your ideas are valued, and you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference every day.
If you're looking for a role where organisation, teamwork and customer service come together, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us and help keep our communities looking their best while supporting the services that matter most to our customers.
