About you

Your passion for excellent customer service is vital.

You’ll know when to act with sensitivity and diplomacy but also have the efficiency and assertiveness to manage the safety and the security of the development, displaying good judgement and the ability to be calm under pressure. Despite the high levels of social contact with residents, you will be happy working alone and independently, using your own initiative.
