About the company and the work

Where to find and apply safely

Apply only through the original Careers24 advert linked from this page, using the Apply button. The advert reference is LESC. Do not pay anyone for a job application, and be cautious of anyone who contacts you outside the official application channel asking for fees or personal banking details.

Practical tips

Before you apply, gather evidence of your conversion results: the targets you worked to, the conversion rates you achieved and examples of how you recovered stalled leads. Because this role involves professional-body memberships, any familiarity with tax, accounting or professional designations is worth highlighting. Make sure your CV shows your CRM experience and your Excel reporting skills clearly, since both are named in the advert.

How the process works

Applications are submitted through the original Careers24 advert. The recruiting agency and the client then review applications and contact shortlisted candidates. The advert does not state interview stages or a start date, so confirm those details with the recruiter if you are shortlisted. Applications close on 28 December 2026.

Important information

Please note: this page is informational only and is not the employer. One detail in the original advert needs checking: the advert header lists the job type as Contract, while one line in the body refers to working independently in a part-time role. Confirm the appointment type and working hours in the original advert or with the recruiter before applying. Always verify the full requirements, salary and closing date in the original advert, as details can change.
