Are you the right person?
You will have a positive and enthusiastic approach to your work with excellent written and verbal communication skills. It is essential you are able to establish and maintain effective communication and relationships with colleagues and clients, promoting a professional business image. Whilst you will have your own responsibilities, for which you will be expected to take ownership and display initiative, you will also be part of a team and so you need to be able to work closely with others and motivated to achieve both personal and team goals.
It is essential that you are IT literate and confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word. A Debt Collection/Insolvency background would also be advantageous but is not necessary as full training will be provided.
The position will suit someone who is able to prioritise their work effectively to ensure deadlines are met. You will need to be accurate, methodical, with a good attention to detail.
The ideal candidate will have a professional attitude, being able to recognise and appreciate the need to exercise discretion and maintain confidentiality with regard to information security and data privacy.
This is a great opportunity to join a friendly but hard-working team who apply a ‘can do’ approach to their daily work. We always welcome applications from likeminded people.
