You'll prepare and send documentation for virtual creditor meetings, audit supervisory files, manage the Land Registry process, and oversee the archiving and retrieval of case files. Throughout, you'll ensure all tasks are completed with care and diligence, in line with StepChange VA guidelines, regulatory standards, and FCA conduct rules.
