This apprenticeship offers a supportive environment where you can gain hands-on experience, develop key skills, and build a career within the property industry.

In this role, you will support the day-to-day running of a busy office by answering calls, booking appointments, organising files, and maintaining accurate records. Duties include daily filing, creating new files for property move-ins, scanning and uploading paperwork, and inputting important information into company systems with a high level of accuracy. You will also manage property listings by uploading photographs and ensuring all compliance documents such as EPCs, floorplans, and videos are complete and ready for platforms like Rightmove.

You will contribute to marketing by creating and posting regular content on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, as well as assisting with property viewings for homes that are for sale or to let. Additional responsibilities include supporting the team with practical tasks such as arranging key cutting and helping the office run smoothly. As some duties involve travel, a full driving licence is desirable. This role is a great opportunity to build confidence, develop professional skills, and become a key part of the team.
