You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place. Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
**Work Together as one team - **work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do

**Drive Efficiency - **show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential

**Be Ambitious - **be demanding of our own performance - striving to be even better - and be prepared to engage with and challenge leaders in a constructive and positive way

**Make a Difference to Reading - **maintain the highest levels of customer service and be flexible and willing to provide the services needed at the time they are needed

**About you**

We’re looking for someone who can combine data management expertise with business related support to a team of valuers and someone that enjoys a challenge, whilst never losing sight of the customer.
- You must have a suitable qualification in the relevant area, together with demonstrable experience within the property asset management profession.
- To be adequately skilled to provide the required senior level support to the service and respond to high level asset management cases.
- To be competent in mapping and data management systems with the ability to identify ongoing opportunities for improvements to keep up with evolving developments in related technology.
- To be creative and compliant when presenting data and information in formats most suitable or required for the recipients.

**Our offer**
