Your contribution to something big
As a self-motivated, results driven individual who has excellent verbal and written communication, you'll have a real passion for delivering the best experience you can, and by always ensuring that we collectively strive to do the right thing by our customers, our clients and regulators.
Ideally having worked within a customer services environment previously, you’ll thrive on the fact every day is different, able to navigate yourself through often complex and challenging situations and have the tenacity to find solutions to every situation. What’s more you’ll be the type of person who never settles for second best, is someone who strives to recommend new and more efficient ways of working, whilst also being seen by their peers as someone who models role-model behaviours whilst also being a team player.
What you’ll be doing
Whilst most roles say that every day is different, we can truly stand behind this, particularly as we’re not one of the big guys out there when it comes to Contact Centre’s. In fact, we pride ourselves that we are a small team of BIG talent, and therefore we truly rely on everyone across the team to pull together and deliver for our customers and clients and why every day is so different.
Our client services teams currently handle all customer facing contacts, whether that’s answering an email, a live-chat or phone call, so one minute you could be handling a live-chat and answering a phone call the next. Even the type of calls we receive can be different, however often are in relation to fees that may have been charged because of a payment being returned, or information around payment dates amongst many other types of situations.
It important that every team member plays their part, which is why we measure performance and productivity at all levels, after all its important that we deliver exceptional levels of service to our customers!
