The RoleAs a Customer Advisor, you will support customers across a variety of channels including telephone, email, live chat, WhatsApp and social media.

You'll deal with a wide range of customer queries, providing friendly, professional and effective solutions while ensuring every customer receives a positive experience.

During busy periods, you may handle 80+ calls per day, alongside digital customer enquiries.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond to customer enquiries by phone and digital channels
  
  
• Provide friendly, professional and empathetic customer service
  
  
• Listen to customers and understand their individual needs
  
  
• Resolve queries efficiently and take ownership through to completion
  
  
• Handle customer information securely and confidentially
  
  
• Manage challenging conversations professionally

• Keep up to date with processes, products and systems
  
  
• Escalate complex or sensitive queries where required

Hours & Shift PatternThe role is available for 25-37.5 hours per week.

The operation is open:

• Monday-Friday: 8:30am-6:30pm
  
  
• Saturday: 8:45am-5:00pm
  
  
• Sunday: 10:00am-5:00pm
