• Managing all enquiries professionally and in a timely manner.
• Meeting set occupancy and revenue targets.
• Advancing enquiries through the sales process and conducting show rounds.
• Exceeding customer expectations and delivering a first-class customer experience.
• Business development and networking.
• Local marketing, including organising and managing events at the care home.
• Building awareness of the care home and establishing links and partnerships in the local community.
• Administrative duties, such as move in and contract paperwork.

What you will need

• A flexible approach to the needs of our customers and an understanding of the issues that older people face.
• A full UK driving licence.
• Ability to meet targets and KPIs and deliver results.
• Competitive Basic Salary of £38,000 annually + Commission realistic OTE £55k
