Primarily a working from home opportunity!!

Our client is a private landlord with approximately 300 rental units spread across Yorkshire & the Northeast. It is predominantly a work from home role; however, the candidate will be expected to be on the road doing viewings, inspections and inventories 1-2 days a week. The properties are spread over a wide area so the candidate will need their own car and be comfortable driving relatively long distances (no more than 2 hours). Hours can be flexible if needed.
