Excellent written and verbal skills; you can explain complex figures in a simple way.
The ability to work under pressure and prioritise a busy workload effectively.
A self-motivated attitude with a willingness to learn new systems quickly.
Experience in the housing sector or rents accounting is highly desirable, but your attitude and administrative expertise are what matter most.
You're someone who loves the details but never loses sight of the "why." You understand that behind every transaction is a customer, and you strive to provide a great service every time.
Why you'll love this job:
Salary £29,684 FTE (pro rata for part time hours)
Performance-based annual bonus and matched pension contributions up to 6%.
