About the role

This is a varied role where your ability to stay organised, think on your feet, and provide great service will make a real difference every day.
What we're looking for:
- Customer Driven: You put customers at the heart of everything you do - understanding their needs, managing expectations, and working to deliver the best possible outcomes first time.
- Accountability: You take ownership of enquiries from start to finish, ensuring they are handled efficiently, accurately recorded, and resolved in line with targets and service standards.
- Develop & Learn: You're keen to build your knowledge, stay up to date with processes and systems, and continuously look for ways to improve how you work and the service you provide.
- Champion Communication: You communicate clearly and confidently across channels, adapting your approach to different situations and ensuring customers feel listened to, supported, and informed.
You'll bring:
- Good standard of literacy and numeracy (e.g. GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent).
- Experience using Microsoft Office, in particular Word and Excel.
- Experience of working in a customer service environment.
- Proven experience of a CRM management system.
