Shadowing opportunities are available if you are new to lettings work.

Enjoy working with a wide range of people and building positive relationships
Can work independently, take initiative and respond calmly to issues as they arise
Are flexible and willing to work evenings and weekends to support lettings
Are committed, trustworthy and confident when overseeing building security
