Bairstow Eves North East - Your Role
Work Ethos
 
Our opening hours vary accordingly to branches but are mainly open Monday to Friday 8.45 am to 6.00pm, Saturday 8.45am to 4.00pm and Sunday 11.00am to 2.00pm. You will be required to work a 5.5 day week, which will mean working a Saturday or Sunday and occasionally both, depending on the office staffing arrangements. Rarely do any of our staff leave their offices at 6.00pm on the dot, but rather when they have achieved their daily objectives.

Bairstow Eves is not a hire and fire company and we do not believe in playing games with peoples lives. After a rigorous selection process, once we make a commitment to employ you we will do our utmost to ensure that you have the environment to flourish. Whilst we can provide you with this environment it is important that you recognise your success is in your hands. If you do not want success or are not prepared to pay the price of obtaining that success then you are not the candidate for Bairstow Eves. We do not wish second best or to waste the time of anyone who does not want to achieve our levels of expectations

Every year we spend thousand of pounds on eye catching high quality colour publicity which is designed to keep new enquiry levels high

Within our business nobody lacks opportunity. However creating opportunities is an expensive business and it is necessary for staff to convert the ringing telephone into sales for our clients, the company and themselves.

Our company is never complacent and has a key focus on continuous improvement. We are a people business and are only as good as the people we employ

There is no ideal candidate as each individual is different and nobody is perfect. Although experience of the property market is not required a sales background would be an asset and we would usually wish to see a stable career background where candidates can demonstrate achievements in their previous/current career and have not drifted from one job to another. Some of the key characteristics we will need to see in yourself would be personable, well dressed (we have a dress code) a pleasant manner, honest, ambitious, sensible, hard working, enjoy dealing with the public, display a high degree of integrity, always positive, a tough negotiator, energetic, charming, have a desire and need to progress and develop a career, want to be the best and will not settle for second best.

To summarise our company is one which seeks excellence in every thing we do and we need you to share our philosophy so that your goals and aspirations are compatible with what we can deliver.

There are three essential criteria that we seek in the individuals we employ:

Communication - The ability to communicate effectively with your colleagues and your prospects is essential. You will need to be confident and professional.
Attitude - You will need to be positive, enthusiastic, resilient and determined.
Organisation - We deal with huge volumes of people in busy and hectic environments. The ability to be highly organised and methodical in your approach to your daily tasks is essential.

We respect ambition in those that apply for positions within this company. However, there is something that we respect even more and that is a commitment to that ambition.
