Summary
About the Role
We’re a growing Asset Finance brokerage who believe great people matter more than rigid schedules. Flexibility, trust, and a genuinely supportive culture are at the heart of how we work. We are now looking for a confident, motivated Assistant to join our journey.
This role is perfect for someone who loves talking to people, building real relationships, and being part of a growing business — without sacrificing work-life balance.
You’ll work closely with our Managing Directors, becoming a key part of the business by helping nurture client relationships, move new and existing opportunities forward, and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
No two days will look the same. You’ll be involved in customer conversations, business growth, and day-to-day operations.
No experience is necessary but the person we are looking for will be confident, proactive, and comfortable picking up the phone — including cold calling. Enjoy connecting with people, building rapport, and helping turn conversations into opportunities. Be organised, motivated, and excited to grow with a business, not just work in one.
Key Responsibilities
Making warm and cold outbound calls using existing and new data
Keeping in regular contact with previous customers to progress new opportunities
Contacting and qualifying new leads
Obtaining and accurately recording customer information
Building and maintaining strong, long-term customer relationships
Always providing an excellent level of customer service
Preparing documentation and assisting with general administrative tasks as required
Handling and maintaining customer data accurately and confidentially
Supporting the Managing Directors with ad-hoc tasks where needed
What We’re Looking For
Confidence
A professional telephone manner
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Comfortable speaking to customers and building rapport over the phone
Competent IT skills, including Microsoft Office, Excel, and email
Good attention to detail and accuracy in data handling
Confident in literacy and numeracy
Self-motivated, reliable, and adaptable
What We Offer
Opportunity to grow with a developing and ambitious business
Minimum Wage to £14 per hour (depending on experience) + Bonus
Supportive and understanding working culture
Bonus payments for all leads that successfully progress
Flexible working hours (Between Monday–Friday, 9am–5.30pm)
Flexible contract options, including and term-time only
Hybrid working opportunities
Progression opportunity as the business grows
Please note a credit check will be required for this role.
If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you.
