Temporary Telesales Executive - April start in Barnsley

Sheffield City Centre | £24,250 + Uncapped Commission | Fixed-term to Sept 2026

UniHomes is hiring April starters to join our B2C telesales team for the upcoming summer season. This role is ideal for graduates, final‑year students finishing their studies, or anyone looking for a structured, paid role while they figure out their next step. If you’re staying in Sheffield from April and want full‑time hours, guaranteed pay and commission on top, this is a terrific opportunity to gain commercial experience in a friendly, supportive office environment.

This is a telesales role, so you’ll spend much of your day on the phone speaking to students about their utilities setup for the coming academic year. You’ll be making a high volume of calls, so confidence, resilience, the ability to build rapport quickly, and a positive attitude are important. You’ll be speaking to students dealing with shared houses, housemates, broadband and bills - so being able to relate to their situation really helps.

• Speaking with students to understand their needs and help them get set up with the right broadband and utilities package.
• Confidently guiding students through their options and recommending what works best for their household.
• Creating positive, engaging conversations that leave students feeling supported and informed.
• Supporting the wider B2C team with ad hoc tasks and campaigns as required.
• Providing a friendly, clear, and professional experience on every call.
• Working towards individual and team targets in a supportive team environment.

• Are a graduate or a student already finished for the year and looking for full-time work until September.
• Can relate to students and build rapport quickly.
• Want full‑time work from April, not shift work.
• Are motivated by targets and commission.
• Are happy speaking to people on the phone all day.
• Want a paid, structured role rather than casual work.
