You will play a key role in supporting property operations across London by conducting viewings, interacting with prospective tenants, and assisting landlords with essential onboarding support.

We provide clear guidance and simple processes to help you get started quickly and perform confidently in your role. Why Join Us? We are building a fast-growing and opportunity-driven business where reliable individuals are rewarded with consistent work and the chance to grow. Here’s what makes this a great opportunity: Strong Earning Potential With pay ranging from £14 to £19+ per hour, your earnings are directly influenced by your availability, efficiency, and performance.

This position is ideal if you: • Enjoy being on the move and working outside of a traditional office environment, • Are confident interacting with people and providing a good customer experience, • Want flexibility in how and when you work, • Are looking for a role where your effort directly impacts your earnings, • Can be trusted to manage your own time and responsibilities It may not be suitable if you prefer a highly structured, desk-based role or require constant supervision. Application Process We are looking to onboard candidates quickly, so we have created a fast-track application process to help us identify the most suitable individuals efficiently. Serious applicants who are ready to start and meet the requirements will be prioritised.
