Full time and part time positions available.
Location
Due to exciting growth plans we have vacancies across the country. Please contact us to find out when we’re planning to open an a&b branch in a town near you!
Whilst our head office is located in south london, our reach is expanding across the nation. All back office functions are taken care of by our fantastic team at hq, allowing our surveyors to get the most out of their working day. Our cutting-edge technology means you can work anywhere in the country, all the while feeling fully supported each and every day by our growing team of honest, approachable experts. Thanks to the communication platforms and live access to the entire team, home working has never been more interactive and inclusive.
Salary
We believe we pay above average salaries and bonuses. Depending on where you are in the country, there is the potential for you to join us as a fully employed member of the team, or if you’d prefer, on a more flexible ‘fee split’ basis. We have full time and part time positions available.
For a&b employees, base salaries are negotiable and depend on experience. We offer a generous and achievable bonus scheme which is paid monthly with your salary. We can demonstrate how this will be calculated at interview.
Benefits
We offer so much more than a competitive salary. Standard benefits include 25 days holiday per year and a mobile phone which you can use for personal local calls. We also get one ‘duvet day’ per year which can be used as unplanned annual leave. We all have our birthdays off if it falls on a working day and A&B also provide a pension scheme.
Private medical insurance is included within the package, as are all fees for your relevant subscriptions, CPD and APC training to achieve MRICS/FRICS status.
Is there something else that’s important to you?
A higher pension contribution? Adding family members onto your medical insurance? Extra holidays? A specific company car? Please discuss this with us. As an owner managed business we appreciate the importance of flexibility and meeting the needs of our employees. One of the reasons we have attracted such an amazing team is our flexible approach to building a bespoke package, tailored specifically to you. What do you want out of your next role? Let us know and we will do our best to meet your expectations.
