Part Exchange Administration Assistant

About The Role

Due to growth, we have an opportunity for an Administrative Assistant to work on a permanent basis within our Birmingham team. The successful candidate will be responsible for assisting a busy plot hub with a variety of general administrative work including document production, file opening and administration, filing, photocopying and raising invoices.

We are the leading residential development and urban regeneration legal team in the country acting for 18 of the top 20 UK house builders, institutional landowners such as Oxford University and other large-scale sector participants. We advise over the complete life cycle of new build housing from initial heads of terms, acquiring the land, obtaining planning permission, building out the scheme and the sale of the new homes.

Schemes range from local developments of 50 new homes up to 20,000 unit green field urban extensions and multi‑billion pound urban regeneration schemes in central London. We also advise our PLC clients at Group level on national issues such as cladding remediation post‑Grenfell and Competition and Markets Authority investigations. The team, which is over 240 strong and is based in 8 of our offices across England, operates within Gateley Plc's Property Platform.

This Platform comprises over 700 lawyers, surveyors, engineers, architects, accountants and support staff who provide a unique cross‑disciplinary service delivery to our wider property client base. Part of the team's remit is the sale of the new homes once built. These sales, which total approximately 15,000 plots and £3 billion in revenue each year, are handled by the Plot Sales team out of three regional hubs using highly developed IT processes.

The plot sales team are supported by a standalone national part‑exchange team, who support developer clients that offer part‑exchange as an incentive to plot purchasers.

This is an entry‑level position, and we are looking for a self‑motivated individual who is dedicated to supporting the team and performing a wide variety of administrative tasks to the best of their ability. While there are pathways for professional development and career progression, this position is best suited for those who are eager to excel in this role and have a vision for longer‑term growth within our organisation.

The successful candidate will have the following:

• A keen attention to detail
• An organised approach with the ability to manage a large volume of work
• Confidence in learning and using a variety of IT systems, including Microsoft Office products and ideally case‑management systems
• A team player, willing to support colleagues on a variety of admin tasks
• A focus on deadlines
