Lettings Officer - Field Based
Are you a confident, reliable and customer-focused individual?
We are currently recruiting for Housing & Lettings Officers to join a busy housing organisation supporting a large programme of new property lettings.

The Role
You will spend 3 days per week out visiting properties , typically completing around 3–4 appointments per day . Visits will generally be grouped within the same geographical area, so you won't be expected to travel across your entire patch in one day.
For example, you may have appointments in Wandsworth one day and several in Croydon the next.

- Previous customer-facing or customer service experience.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Good computer literacy.
- A positive, mature and professional attitude.
- Good organisation and time management.
- Reliability and excellent timekeeping.
- A full UK driving licence.
