Debt Control Assistant - newcastle-upon-tyne, tyne and wear, United Kingdom - Knights
Description
Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management/ownership and fee earners.
The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth in both turnover and profits.
With over 1450 colleagues across 23 locations and our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions in Newcastle, Bristol, Lincoln, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Exeter, Weybridge, Sheffield, York and Teesside means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.
Our business model and culture remain a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business.
We are now looking to recruit a key role within our Business Operations team which is set out below.
What will I be doing?
You will be liaising extensively with the portfolio of debtors (individuals and companies) via telephone, email and/or letter in order to effectively recover money that is owed to the business within the agreed payment terms, whilst adhering to the payment request timetable.
Main responsibilities:
What we ask of you:
Experience required:
We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.
Most excitingly of all, you have the opportunity to help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.
