About you

Due to the high number of applicants for this role, you will need over 12 months’ experience working within a Contact Centre, otherwise your application will unfortunately be declined automatically.

As a self-motivated, results-driven individual with excellent verbal and written communication, you'll have a real passion for delivering the best experience you can, and always ensure that we collectively strive to do the right thing by our customers, our clients and regulators.

Having worked within a customer services environment previously, you’ll thrive on the fact every day is different, be able to navigate yourself through often complex and challenging situations and have the tenacity to find solutions to every situation. What’s more, you’ll be the type of person who never settles for second best, strives to recommend new and more efficient ways of working, whilst also being seen by their peers as someone who models role-model behaviours and is a strong team player.

What does a typical day look like?

Whilst most roles say that every day is different, we can truly stand behind this, particularly as we’re not one of the big guys out there when it comes to contact centres. In fact, we pride ourselves that we are a small team of BIG talent, and therefore we truly rely on everyone across the team to pull together and deliver for our customers and clients and why every day is so different.

Our client services teams currently handle all customer-facing contacts, whether that’s answering an email, a live-chat or phone call. It important that every team member plays their part, which is why we measure performance and productivity at all levels, so above all, we continue to deliver exceptional levels of service to our customers!
