Are you a personable self-starter who learns quickly and always acts with integrity? If so, Urban Patchwork want to hear from you.

We are an exciting model of estate agency driven by our commitment to:

• Provide professional and personable residential sales and lettings services that achieve the best possible results for our customers

As a Sales & Lettings Negotiator, you will:

• Work in our office by Greenland Dock in SE16 (our closest stations are Surrey Quays and Canada Water)
• Respond to enquiries and undertake property viewings (and eventually also property valuations)
• Oversee the entire customer relationship and residential sales and lettings process through to completion, liaising with tenants, buyers, landlords and vendors
• Have the opportunity to progress quickly and shape the development of the company.

We are looking for someone eager to spend at least the next two-to-five years with us.

• Five days a week Monday to Friday, plus every other Saturday (you will get a Friday afternoon off in lieu following working a Saturday)
• Current branch opening hours are 9.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday and Saturday 10am to 3pm. Viewings and property appraisals are regularly required outside of these times, particularly during weekday evenings.
• Business casual dress code - no ties or suits required
• 23 days' annual holiday pro rata. We are also closed on all bank holidays and between Christmas and New Year. (Staff are required to use three days of their leave over the Christmas period.)

Essential skills and attributes are:

• Having excellent communication skills (verbal and written)
• Taking pride in providing outstanding customer service and always acting with integrity
• Getting things done on time and meeting expectations
• Being a fast learner and strategic thinker
• Being commercially-minded and socially motivated
• Being interested in housing, development and society issues
• Being a good team player and equally able to work autonomously
• Having the drive and commitment to build Urban Patchwork's customer base and reputation.

It is desirable for you to have sales, business development or fundraising experience, property experience (preferably in residential sales or lettings), and to have an industry qualification: NAEA or ARLA and/or a degree.

You must have a UK driving license, a car and a mobile phone.
