Customer Advisor – Multiple opportunities
Northampton
£23,000 - £25,000 depending on experience
Monday to Friday - 9am - 5.30pm
As a Customer Advisor at Sage Homes, the largest provider of new affordable homes in England, you will be delivering a 5-star, customer-focused service to customers by working collaboratively with colleagues across a number of business areas to ensure customer issues are dealt with.
Working as part of a team, you will be the first point of contact for Sage Homes’ customers through various communication channels including phone, email and other digital formats.
We have two 8-month FTC opportunities with a working pattern of Monday - Friday, 9am - 5.30pm from our Northampton office.
What will you be doing?
- Offering helpful, accurate and professional advice to customers and taking ownership of queries to prevent escalation
- Welcoming new customers to their homes and ensuring any reasonable issues are resolved so that the level of customer satisfaction is maintained and improved
- Where specialist assistance is required, fielding the query to the correct team member or department, offering comprehensive information before handing over
- Making a valuable contribution to the team by reviewing and continuously improving Sage's customer service approach and processes, to ensure that issues are being identified and resolved effectively
Your Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits in return for your dedication and passion. They include:
- Competitive salary and bonus
- 25 days holiday (not including bank holidays) with an extra day for every year’s service (up to 30 days)
- A health cash plan to help you pay for the cost of routine healthcare such as going to the dentist, opticians or the physio
- A workplace pension scheme, matching personal contributions up to 5%. You’ll also receive life assurance for four times your annual salary
- Free, confidential one-to-one counselling (online) with qualified therapists, counsellors, life and career coaches via the MyndUp platform
- Cycle to Work scheme: letting you save 26-40% on a bicycle and accessories. You pay nothing up front and the payments are taken (before tax) from your salary monthly
- A great social life with regular events and parties
- Free fruit and vegetables delivered to your home
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in a similar role for a Registered Provider, Housing Association or in the property sector is useful but not essential, as we are looking for people who are passionate about customer service
- Great communication skills both verbal and written, demonstrating a natural desire to find solutions, professionalism and empathy to ensure customers feel valued
- Proven ability to use Microsoft Office, Teams and CRM systems (Microsoft Dynamics)
- Ability to act efficiently and proactively within defined decision-making processes
