Job Introduction
Do you have an appetite for customer satisfaction and all things tenancy?
We’re on the lookout for someone to join our New Customer Team as our fixed term (12 Month) Property Marketing Assistant, who will play a key role in delivering a seamless service to prospective tenants.
You can work where, when and how you want with our hub, home, roam approach around the Yorkshire region. Reporting to our New Customer Manager, this is a fantastic opportunity to join us at an exciting time, and be part of our supportive and pro-active teams who get stuff done!
What we’re all about
Here at Yorkshire Housing our customers are at the heart of what we do – we call it being customer obsessed.
In a nutshell we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire, and our mission is to make it possible for our customers to have a place they’re proud to call home.
We have huge growth plans, and that means we need someone who can support customers on their final leg of their journey with us…keeping the Yorkshire Housing standards high throughout.
What you’ll be getting up to
With your customer centric approach, you’ll be responsible for advertising homes as they become empty and support the wider New Customer Team right up until signup.
You’ll ensure that customers have the right information at the right time to ensure they apply for our homes correctly, and are given all the accurate information in advance.
This is the sort of role where you’ll get to work with different teams across the customers journey, looking to really improve our overall service delivery.
You’ll be confident making decisions, and communicating with local authorities so we understand what information we need to provide to applicants, enabling us to review and make changes when and where appropriate.
Working collaboratively with the New Customer advisors and Empty Homes team, you will be responsible for the start of the lettings journey and the customer’s first experience of Yorkshire Housing, getting creative and sometimes going out to sites to check things out.
Working in the Property Marketing team is a great opportunity to be creative, so we would like someone who is confident in tone of voice and showing off our properties.
As you can imagine, the full job description includes lots more detail so do check it out.
Sounds good? Here’s what we need from you…
The answer is simple - if you are hardworking, focussed and ready for a new challenge, we would love to hear from you.
The below would also be great:
- Passion to help customers and have a customer obsessed approach.
- Time management skills.
- Ability to think on your feet and have a solution focused attitude.
- IT and social media savvy.
- Creative writing.
- Be flexible and adaptable to meeting customer needs with great organisational skills.

- Excellent attention to detail and able to present written and numerical information accurately.
- Personal values and approach that align with YH’s values.

We also work (truly) flexibly, and believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go.
But that’s not all. We offer a reward package to suit everyone. At YH, you can claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more with our cash plan, make the most of a variety of retail discounts and take advantage of our pension scheme where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.
