At Bellway we recognise that people are the key to our success and our goal is to provide a rewarding and fulfilling career in line with our values of quality, service and trust. Bellway is working towards becoming a more inclusive employer that values and respects individual differences in the workplace.

There is an exciting opportunity to join Bellway, one of the UKs largest house builders. Our Durham Division are looking to recruit a Sales Progressor to join the Divisions Sales team.

The Role

The role of Sales Progressor is responsible for moving sales from reservation stage through to contract exchange and completion, driving for this to happen in the shortest possible timescale while ensuring that maximum profit is achieved through the effective management of the sales teams progression, whilst giving a high level of service to our customers. The Sales Progressor also provides administrative back up to the Head of Sales.

Overall principle accountabilities of the role include:

• Ensure that communication is being maintained between Bellways nominated solicitor and the customers solicitor to strive to contract exchange by the specified reservation expiry date.
• Liaise between the divisional office-based sales team, Sales Advisors and Lenders/Brokers/Estate Agents to ensure all stakeholders are adequately informed as to the progress of each individual sale in the sales pipeline.
• Responsible for investigating and resolving any problems, particularly those sales involving multiple chains.
• Occasionally act as an additional point of contact to our customers to guide them through the contract/completion process, providing a central point of contact so the process runs smoothly, particularly when dealing with customers who may not be familiar with the legal terminology.
• Ensure that our customers are given the highest levels of service at all times.
• Resolve any ad-hoc or minor queries that may not necessarily need to be directed to the legal team, allowing the conveyancers to focus on more complex enquiries and achieve a prompt exchange of contracts/completion.
• Ensure Sales Advisors provide accurate, regular updates (at least weekly) and provide support to them when required.
• Provide a weekly update report to Senior Management or as required.
