SalaryWe’re hiring a Customer Support Advisor to join our incredible team!
Customer-service is at the heart of everything we do, and this particular role is a critical first step into welcoming new people referred to us by their Job Centre Work Coaches.
You’ll be working in a busy centre handling inbound and outbound calls, especially the initial warm three-way call with the Job Centre and the referred participant. Your role will be to obtain all the required information from the participant and to provide a welcoming and reassuring presence at the end of the phone. Your role is to provide a general support function throughout the participants employment journey.
This role is the pivotal first step to facilitate the smooth transition from ’warm handover’ stage to programme start. You’ll also be responding to other message types as required (email, SMS, etc).
Our ideal candidate will have proven experience in a customer service-related role as well as have the ability to thrive in a fast-paced and sometimes high-pressure environment. As we’re not specifically looking for someone who ticks every box, direct experience in a call-centre is not as important as a welcoming and bubbly personality with experience of interacting with members of the public. You will need to know your way around a computer with excellent keyboard skills and be someone who thrives in a fast-paced and sometimes high-pressure environment.
As an organisation we deliver a range of Employability & Health contracts which support unemployed people ‘back to work’. This job role forms part of our Restart Scheme
In return for your dedication, knowledge, and commitment, we're offering a competitive salary of £23,088 per annum (dependent on experience) with these great additional benefits:
• 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays + Birthday Day off (with the opportunity to buy additional days)
- 2 Volunteer Days
- Pension - 5% Employee 5% Employer
- Healthcare Cash Plan, incl. 3 x salary life assurance
- Annual Pay Review
- Refer a Friend Scheme
- Free access to BenefitHub – an online portal with access to a wide range of retail discounts, cycle to work scheme and additional voluntary benefits.
There’s also the opportunity to progress your career within the Seetec Group.
