Customer Service Adviser

We are looking for customer service advisers to deliver a first‑class experience in our contact centre which is at the heart of our business.

What you’ll do

The contact centre is the first point of contact for many of our business customers; you will be answering inbound calls and responding to email queries about their water bills. You will interact with regional water companies and be multiskilled in a variety of other day‑to‑day tasks. We are all about customer experience, so you will engage with customers via telephone and email, always delivering memorable customer service. As you live our values with our customers, we will invest in your development through regular 121s, coaching and skill building. From interview to offer we will keep you updated every step of the way. On day one, you'll receive a warm welcome from your new team. Our contact centre customer service adviser roles are Monday to Friday. We're an office‑based team, which means you'll benefit from daily face‑to‑face interaction with your colleagues and team leader in a supportive and collaborative environment. After your initial training period, you'll have the option to work from home one day per week, if that suits your working style. Please note, this role is based on 37 hours a week, working Monday to Friday.

What you’ll need

Our values are Expert, Trusted, Engaging and Helpful, and as someone who can deliver great customer service through building rapport via our communications, we know you will have a positive “can do” attitude, enthusiasm to learn new skills and the ability to exceed both your own and our customers' expectations. You have a strong customer focus and the ability to make every interaction memorable for our customers. You also have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, a willingness to adapt and respond to change and the ability to problem solve and use your initiative and you will need to be able to demonstrate resilience and reliability, working to department targets. You enjoy being part of a team and working with others but are also able to use your own initiative and assess information to confidently make and implement decisions. You have the ability to think outside the box, put forward suggestions and are constantly looking for new ways you can develop yourself and the business.

What you’ll receive

• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service
• Up to 20% combined pension contribution
• Opportunity to buy or sell holiday
• Pay increase yearly rewarding your first three years of service
• Performance related bonus of up to 10%
