Sales & Marketing
Job Description
Step into a varied admin position that covers sales, operations and customer service.
You will gain hands-on experience across multiple departments, making it a great way to build your skills and your CV.
Working closely with senior managers and directors will give you insight into how a housebuilding business operates from start to finish. You'll also be the main point of contact for customers, helping to guide them through the process and resolve any queries along the way.
This is a full-time, office-based position, but there's an option to go part-time (three days a week) once the initial maternity cover period is over.
That makes it a good fit for anyone looking for flexible working hours later down the line.
What you will be doing
The company is a specialist housebuilder building homes in East Anglia. Developments are carefully chosen to reflect the local area, with a focus on quality rather than quantity. It's a small, family-run business, so you'll be working directly with the directors and management team.

This will include holding and sharing your personal data, our legal basis for this is legitimate interest subject to your declared interest in a job.
