Huntress is recruiting a Planner/Scheduler/Coordinator to join our client's Planning, Scheduling & Dispatch department in Maidstone. You'll join a busy, fast-paced team coordinating field-based operatives across the UK. This is a great opportunity for someone who's organised, quick-thinking, and comfortable working to deadlines - full training provided, with genuine scope to develop within the department.
Please note: this role operates on a rotating shift pattern, so you'll need to be flexible and comfortable working shifts.
What you'll be doing:
- Scheduling responsive and planned appointments for field-based operatives, using multiple works management systems
- Liaising with and directing field-based operatives to keep jobs on track
- Monitoring response times and SLAs, and understanding the difference between planned and responsive works
- Spotting early warning signs of risk to response times and escalating promptly
What we're looking for:
- Strong problem-solving skills - someone who thinks on their feet
- Confident with MS Office and comfortable picking up new systems
- Customer service experience and a target-driven mindset are a plus (this is not a call centre role)
- Accurate, efficient data input skills
If you're organised, resilient under pressure, and want a role with real variety, we'd love to hear from you.
PLEASE NOTE: We can only consider applications from candidates who have the right to work in the UK.
