Customer Service Representative, CM

Overview:

The part time Customer Service Representative role is a varied and challenging customer facing role set within our fast-paced Customer Contact Centre.  You will respond to customer queries from shareholders and employees (or their appointed representative), so you will need to demonstrate excellent customer focus and a desire to find the right outcomes for the customer in a professional and positive manner.  You’ll be part of a supportive team, focused on your development, training and well-being.

We are recruiting for Part-time colleagues on permanent contracts:

• Part time is 25 hours per week – Monday to Friday, 5 hours per day

• Options are 10:00 – 15:00 or 11:00 – 16:00 or 12noon – 17:00

• Part time colleagues are required to work full time hours (37 ½ hours) during the initial training, which will be paid

There will be no weekend, evening or bank holiday working.

Successful candidates will be based in our stunning city centre office in Leeds, which is just a few minutes’ walk from the train station and is close to several bus routes, including the Park and Ride route.  You’ll work from the office each day and then possibly move to hybrid working once you have successfully completed your probation.

Our assessment process includes a 15-minute telephone chat with a member of the Customer Contact Centre Leadership team, followed by an onsite interview, allowing you time to really find out about what we do.  The initial chats will take place from Monday 12th October, with second stage face to face interviews conducted from later that week.

If you are successful in your application, and we offer you a role, you will join us on Monday 2nd November 2026.

PLEASE NOTE: Whilst this is currently the only start date, if you are unable to join on this date, we will discuss alternatives for later in the year with you.

You’ll be joining a network of experienced, innovative and dedicated individuals across multiple teams and countries.  There are countless opportunities to learn new skills and develop in your role and we’ll provide the support you need to do just that.
