In 2022, Wards celebrated 100 years and for more than a century we've been helping Kent to move forward. As part of the Arun Estate Agencies Group, we have a large network of over 100 locations across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Essex, London, the Isle of Wight.
Our mission is "to help you move forwards on life's journey" and we work on 3 basic beliefs to achieve that:
1. We always act with honesty and integrity to build trust.
2️. We take every opportunity to truly exceed expectations.
3️. Only once we leave you with a positively memorable experience have we done a good job.
This doesn't only apply to our customers but to our colleagues too, and this approach has meant we've been awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold award, which just 17% of companies evaluated actually achieve!
But don’t just take our word for it! Every year we invite an independent agency along to ask our staff for unbiased, anonymous feedback and we are incredibly proud of our most recent employee survey results:
⭐️ 95% of people enjoy their work
⭐️ 94% of people feel their manager is supportive in a personal crisis
⭐️ 92% of people think the company is a good place to work
⭐️ 92% of people feel valued and respected by their Directors
⭐️ 90% of people feel their manager is approachable
Our Group Managing Director, Aldo Sotgiu says “a number of the top team, including myself, started at branch level and worked our way up through the company. We understand the value of investing in our team members from the very first day”.
We also believe in rewarding our employees for their hard work and dedication. Some of the great benefits our staff enjoy include:
• Competitive Salary: The security of a competitive basic salary and the excitement of uncapped earning through commissions – you determine what you earn!
• Full Training: Award-winning training from day one, with opportunities to learn and develop as you progress in your career journey.
• Career Progression: With our transparent and attainable Career Pathway, your future with Arun Estates is always clear and full of potential.
• Arun Reward Points: Our in-house rewards system, earn points for your successes, which can be exchanged for gift cards and coupons.
• Birthdays Off: Enjoy an additional day's holiday for your birthday, which can be taken any time during the year.
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 confidential access to trained therapists, along with selected financial and legal advice to support your wellbeing.
• Life Cover: Insurance for twice your basic salary to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
• Profit Share Scheme: Senior roles may benefit from directly sharing in the company’s success through our profit-sharing program.
