Lettings Coordinator - 12 Month FTC / Secondment - Somerset

We have an opportunity to join the housing team as a Lettings Coordinator. You’ll be committed to delivering a first-class service, putting our customers at the heart of all we do. Primarily you will be letting homes to new and existing customers, carrying out verification checks, taking payments for rent in advance etc. Ultimately, you’ll see the process of letting a home out from start to finish to the point where a customer gets the keys to their new home.

Computer literate, organised, pro-active and self-motivated, you will be part of the housing team responsible for ensuring that all empty and new build properties are let as quickly as possible working in conjunction with our maintenance colleagues and other housing colleagues. You’ll work closely with local authorities and third party agencies so you’ll be confident and comfortable communicating with internal and external colleagues.

Ideally, you’ll have some housing or lettings experience and will be a confident user of IT. Communication and collaboration is the key to success in this role, so you’ll thrive working in a busy environment juggling lots of balls and stakeholders. This role will cover the Somerset area, so we are looking for someone located close to this region. You will be out and about so having access to a vehicle for work and a full UK driving licence is a must.

What’s in it for me:

• Flexible working – whilst some roles need to be carried out in a specific place at a specific time, where possible we encourage our colleagues to work to their own schedule at a location that suits them, their team and our business’ needs.
• A focus on colleague wellbeing – workshops, an employee assistance programme offering counselling and support, mental health training and a health cash plan.
• We invest in colleagues’ careers and development through our leader and colleague development frameworks.
• Defined Contribution Pension and attached life assurance.
• Volunteering hours available to all colleagues to enable them to give back.
• Savings at cinemas, gyms, holidays, days out, various shops and eateries and lots more.
• Enhanced leave.
• We celebrate colleagues who go above and beyond with a range of personalised recognition initiatives, and monthly and annual awards.
